UNIFORM BY-LAWS.
FOR ALL COUNTIES. The New Zealand Counties’ Association advised the Matamata County Council at Friday’s meeting that it proposed to publish a model set of by-laws, which, if adopted by all counties, would reduce ambiguity and assure easy understanding by all ratepayers and the public generally. If a sufficient number of counties joined in the cost would not exeeed £lO 10s each. The chairman said the matter had cropped up for a number of years at the Counties’ Conference, and last year a remit was passed instructing the executive to proceed with the | proposal, and this was the outcome. Some counties had no by-laws, while a group in Taranaki had drawn up model by-laws about two years ago. A group in Hawke’s Bay had. done the same. The majority, however, had no by-laws. Cr. Allen thought it was in the interests of the public generally to have a uniform set of by-laws. The engineer pointed out that if by-laws were universal they might as weil have the regulations. That was the drift.
Cr. Cox held that it would not- do any harm to agree to the suggestion. He moved to that effect. The Chairman : Whether we use them or not? Cr. Cox : Yes.
The motion was then agreed to unanimously, the chairman remarking that the new Transport Board might override many of the by-laws framed.
