EXPENDITURE OF SUBSIDIES.
THE POSITION DEFINED.
Wit!) respect to the expenditure of loans and subsidies on roads there has been some uncertainty as to whether formation and eulverting work could be charged to a loan or subsidy for metalling. The following letter, received by the Waitomo County Council, from the Public Works Department, should make the matter clearer: Ice Expenditure of Subsidies on Road, etc. Works. —Sir, - -I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your j letter of the Ist ins!., in which, by i direction oc the Waitomo County ' Council, you enquire whether loan i monies mid subsdiy monies must be j exclusively used for formation or ; metalling work, and whether such ; monies may not be devoted to the for- j mat ion of culverts. In reply, have | to state that where a loan or a subsidv i is granted for the formation of a road ; the putting in of culverts is certainly j a legitimate charge against such . monies for the reason that a cuvlert is i a necessary part of a road formation. ! If a loan or a subsidy were granted ' for the specific purpose of metalling i then such monies would not be avail- ; able for expenditure on work. W. S. SHORT, Assistant- j Secretary." {
