CURBING THE MANAWATU.
ITS MENACE TO PROPERTY,
At the ordinary meeting of the Palmerston Borough Council, after a discussion on the damage done by the recent floods iu the Manawatu river, the following motion was carried : ‘ ‘ That a meeting of ratepayers be convened to consider the importance of providing against the serious position of the Manawatu either by allowing themselves to be rated or raising the necessary moneys to provide an efficient scheme of protecting their own property ; and that a special recommendation to form a comprehensive river board, to provide for the major question at issue, be also placed before the ratepayers, and they be specially advised to adopt the suggestion of forming such a sufficiently comprehensive river board as would allow the contributing bodies to possess the powers necessary to provide for full and efficient works.”
