ONEHUNGA BOROUGH
MEETING OF COUNCIL Having received legal opinion that the Catholic school property and the sisters’ residence are exempt from rates, the Onehunga Borough Council j last night decided to remit £63 Is 6d, the amount of rates claimed for the- ! year ending March last. Acting upon a report from Council- ! lor R. G. Speight, it was resolved to j refuse an offer of £1 from Mr. F. J. Lawrence to remove two macrocarpa trees on the recreation reserve. The Farmers’ Fertiliser Company in- j timated that it does not intend to carry out its agreement to drain the pro- I perty in Patrick Street, and the coun- , cil decided to place the matter in tie, hands of the borough solicitor, with i instructions to enforce the agreement if possible. As the public sewer is within 100 1 feet of his section, the council refused to allow Mr. P. Garrett to construct either an earthen lavatory or a septic tank on his property, in lieu of having to connect with the drainage. The Treasury notified that no subsidy was payable under the Government unemployed relief legislation where the labour cost was less than -0 per cent, of the total cost of relief works. The Mayor explained that the work referred to was the concreting of Mount Smart Road, and the reply was certainly disappointing. A map received from the chief postmaster, showed the revised boundaries of potsal deliveries from the Onehunga post office, and councillors expressed gratification. The Mayor was elected as tne borough representative on the committee set up to consider the proposed revision of local government. Permission was granted to The Auckland Hospital Auxiliary Committee to take up a street collection ori September 30 in aid of the sick poor in the hospital district. The tender of Mr. P. Hanagin, of £26 10s, was accepted for drainage work in Curzon Street.
