MASTERTON BOROUGH WORKS COMMITTEE.

At a meeting of the Works and Finance Committee, held on Tuesday April 20th, there were present, —The Mayor (Mr IJ.1 J . L. Boilings), and Councillors Elliott, Ewi'ngton. Haughey, Hunter, Morris, Pauling, Pragnell, Prentice and Yarr. The committee recommended the Borough Council to memorialise the Governor for his Proclamation vesting the necessary lands in the Borough under the Public Works Act so as to produce a full chain road throughout the entire length of Makora Road, and that the Mayor and two councillors be and are hereby authorised to subscribe to such memorial, and further that the Mayor be and is hereby empowered to make a statutory declaration and an application for the legalisation of the existing road, and similarly also in the case of Kuripuni Street.

In regard to charitable aid, the committee recommended that the action of the Masterton County Council be supported by a resolution in the following terms:—ln view of the fact that the Wellington and Wairarapa United District Charitable Aid Board has included in its estimates of expenditure for .1909-10 the sum of £I,BOO for maintenance of the Victoria Home for Incurables in Wellington, an institution established under, and hitherto maintained by, the Board of the Wellington Hospital District, this Council deems the , amount of contribution required of it by the Board, in this respect, to be unjust, and hereby expresses its dissent accordingly. Other business of a routine nature was transacted.
