Abolition of Road Boards Dominates County Meeting
At a March 7 Ashburton County Council session a plan to hold a referendum on abolishing road boards was debated. Drummond urged replacing boards with a single warded county council and up-to-date machinery, while opponents warned of ratepayer impact and local control, proposing four counties instead.

Local Council Votes on Amendment and Ratepayer Scheme
The record shows chairmen voting on an amendment with eight chairmen casting ballots four for and four against. The chair refused to vote, the chairmen later passed the clause adding to the motion, and the council carried the motion. Opposition urged denying the scheme to burden ratepayers while concerns about bias in preparation were raised.
