LOAN FOR LIGHTING SCHEME.
t MR FIELD’S POSITION.. In conversation with a “Mail”..-re presentative on Saturday Mr W. 11, Field, member for the district, expressed surprise at the remarks made at the Otaki Town Board’s meeting last Thursday with reference to his enquiry re the loan for electric light. Mr Field says he wrote to tho Board with the object of ascertaining where the Board had applied for the loan money, as it would be useless to apply again to the same places. He states that he has no intention of trying to secure the money from Government departments which have declined to entertain the proposal, though he intended to approach .the Government with a view to removing the restriction rvhicli prevents the 'Advances Office from granting loans for lighting purposes —not morcly so that Otaki might be able to get the loan, but as a general principle, Mr Field being of opinion that the restriction should be removed. Mr Field has already approached several private confcerns with a view to securing the loan, and hopes to bo successful in the near future.
