URGENT WORK ONLY
RIDINGS OVERSPENT POSITION IN RAGLAN COUNTY (Times Special Reporter) NGARUAWAHIA, Wednesday The opinion that a brake would have to be put on riding expenditure was expressed by the chairman of the Raglan County Council, Mr H. W. Wilson, at the monthly meeting of the council held at Ngaruawahia yesterday. “Some ridings have overspent their allocation, and if they do not draw in they will be faced with the prospect of asking their ratepayers to accept an increase in rates next year,” he. said. Mr Wilson added that work other than that which was essential would have to be curtailed.
A recommendation from the finance committee that where ridings had spent their allocation none but urgent work should be gone on with, and then only after the consent ol the finance committee and the engineer had been obtained, was approved. Also present at the meeting were Messrs H. Johnstone, L. C. Logan, R. J. Glasgow, M. J. Corcoran, W. G. Vernon, P. S. Kirk, F. C. Johnstone, W. R. Moore, F. Lowe, W. A. H. Murray, A. Cobourne, G. BrownleeSmith (county clerk) and K. M. Wright (county engineer).
