Nelson Roads Board election and council business summarized
The Nelson Roads Board held a fort nightly meeting in Bridge Town. Robert Al Crawford was elected unopposed to fill the vacant seat, with the chairman welcoming him and Mr Waddington apologizing for J Smith's absence. The board approved street and corrispondence items, set rates for pounding stock, and discussed a new mater scheme with a 217 000 estimated cost and a 25 rate in the pound, likely to be rejected. The meeting also covered gravel for footpaths, tenders for a tank stand, and tree removal concerns affecting town appearance. Final notices for rates and accounts were issued, and the supervisor was tasked with road guttering work in Hampton Street up to Scott's Hotel.
