The Borough Council in their present difficulty might adopt the course taken by the Borough of Lawrence (Otago). The authorities of that township, finding themselves in a similar straic to that of our Council, and not having the money to meet their accounts, gave a promissory note for the amount owing—£sl2 10s, and paid their employees. Why should our Council not give a promissory note for the amount they require, pay their accounts, and wait until the amount
accruing from the Licenses comes to hand P That amount will be available in a few months, and the interest on the money required would not exceed a few pounds. This suggestion is worthy of the consideration of our Council.
