City Council
The report of the Wainui-o-mata Waterworks Committee was read, and its adoption moved by Councillor Allen. It was to the effect that the committee had again had under consideration the amount of compensation to be given to Messrs J. and E. Sinclair for the land taken for the reservoir, and recommended that the sum of £8 per acre be paid in full of all claims. They were of opinion that until the works were completed, and the Corporation knew what balance they would have left it would be premature to consider the question of purchasing the watershed. They recommended that the sum of £10 be paid to Mr E. Campbell in full of all claims for damage. The report was adopted.
