MEETING OF BOROUGH COUNCIL LAND FOR WATER SUPPLY PURPOSES. ("Times-Age” Special.) The monthly meeting of the Featherston Borough Council was held last night, the Mayor, Mr J. W. Card, presiding. The council decided to take, under the provisions of the Public Works Aset, an area of two roods for water supply purposes, the land in question being portion of the creek bed and the well site for the borough supply. As it was found, when inquiries had been made in respect to the raising of a water loan of £3200 that the specified term of 35 years was too long for investors, it was recided to request the Local Government Loans Board to reduce the term to 20 years. Mr H. A. Truman, district health inspector, was appointed building inspector for the borough. An application was received from the Cosy Theatre to install, an inch water pipe for emergency fire fighting purposes. The request was agreed to. BOY SCOUTS EUCHRE PARTY.
