ROAD WORK HELD UP
HIGHWAYS BOARD’S SHARE MT. ROSKILL COMPLAINS On July 15. 1927, the Local Government Loans Board sanctioned the raising of a loan of £BI,OOO for concreting Mount Albert and Three Kings Hoads. A few months afterwards the Mount Roskill Road Board was notified that Mount Albert Road had been declared a main highway from the Royal Oak to the board's boundary. The board has spent the intervening time in trying to ascertain the amount of contribution likely to be forthcoming from the Highways Board Until this information is furnished the Roskill Board is unable to stipulate the amount of the loan required, and cannot take a poll of ratepayers.
At last evening’s meeting of the Mount Roskill Road Board a letter was received from the Loans Board that the statutory 12 months’ grace for taking the poll had expired and asked what the board intended to do. The Loans Board is to be asked to allow Its sanction to stand good until the Highways Board supplied the required information. The road work will give employment to hundreds of labourers.
