MOUNT ALBERT ROAD
The cost of the maintenance of Mount Albert Hoad to the Mount Roskill Road Board amounts to £1,200 a year, and as this road has been declared a secondary highway, the board becomes entitled to an annual subsidy equal to 30s for every £1 spent. As the road board, however, considers that the road should be laid in concrete, and the annual subsidy would amount to £750 a year, the board has decided to request the Public Works Department to put forward to the Highways Board a proposal that in place of the Highways Board paying £750 a year maintenance, it should consider making a grant of £750 a year for 30 years. This would enable the road board to go to the ratepayers for a much smaller loan for concrete work, with a much better prospect of having such loan carried.
