WATER AND DRAINAGE SCHEME.

PIPES THROUGH PRIVATE PROPERTY. OBJECTORS TO APPEAR BEFORE COUNCIL. Al last night’s Council meeting (wo objections were lodged by Messrs Air. and G. Fraser against sewerage pipes being taken through their private property. On behalf of Mr Alf. Fraser, Messrs Illness and Oakley, solicitors, of Palmerston N., intimated that <tlieir client would strenuously oppose any such proceedings is being unnecessary. “Mr Fraser thinks there is no reason why the drain should not be taken along the public road (as is usual), and he believes that the taking <>l the drain through his private property will do him a great deal of injury, and as to this the borough would, of course, be liable to pay compensation.”- The letter expressed the hope that the Council would lake the drain along the road, and thus save unnecessary expense to both parties. Mr G. Fraser wrote that he would not permit the laying of a drain through his property. ' H. Bullard, the Avenue, asked that the sewerage line be altered I.Bft. to 20ft. from proposed line through property. The Mayor moved, and Cr. Coley seconded, and it was carried, “That Messrs Alf., G. Fraser, and H. Bullard be requested to attend the next meeting of the Council, when their object!ion to proposed route of sewers will be heard by the Council, as provided in section 211 of “The .Municipal Corporations Act, 1908," and the tenth schedule thereto."
