ROSKILL ROAD BOARD
BOROUGH STATUS IN SIGHT PETITIONS CIRCULATED At last evening's meeting of the Mount Roskill Road Board the chairman, Mr. E. F. Jones, informed the board that the petitions being circulated for raising the district to the status of a borough were nearing completion and would be presented in a few days. The engineer to the Wesley Trust Board appeared on behalf of that body and entered objections to being compelled to lay stone pitchers along the edges of the concrete fairway on the trust property between Dominion Road and Parau Street, which is soon to ba subdivided.
Mr. G, E. Tansley said that the engineer had agreed to the pitchers being laid and he was surprised at his recommendation being objected to then. The question was again referred to the works committee.
The board received notice from a firm of solicitors threatening legal proceedings owing to one of the board’s workmen having placed broken drain pipe vertically on the western side of Mount Eden Road, through which a pedestrian named Bernard Haydock had suffered injuries to his leg, occasioning medical attention, loss of wages and damages to his wearing apparel. The board disclaimed liability.
The city engineer advised that the board’s offer of £1,250 toward the reconstruction of The Drive had been accepted and that the work would be put in hand immediately, and that any balance left over would be spent on Landscape Road. The board’s engineer reported that the work had been commenced, and he recommended a slight alteration in levels, which was adopted. An offer $ an area in White Swan Road as a destructor site was declined. On the recommendation of Mr. John .Dawson, C.E., the plans and specifications for the construction of Dominion Road as submitted by Mr. S. T. .Dibble, engineer for the jWinstone Estate, were referred back to that official for • amendment. Permits were granted for the erection of six dwellings aggregating £ 3,987The general account is £7,984 in debit.
