Sydney, 2nd January, 1890.
PETITION FOR DIVISION OF MUNICIPALITY OF
PENRITH.
HIS Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, directs the publication, in accordance with "Municipalities Act of 1867," of the substance and prayer of a Petition addressed to His Excellency, and signed by 89 persons who are alleged to represent at least two-thirds of the ratepayers of the Castlereagh Ward of the Municipal District of Penrith, praying to be separated from that Municipal District, and to be erected into a distinct Municipality under the name of the " Municipal District of Castlereagh."
HENRY PARKES.
The Petitioners allege that they represent at least two-thirds of the ratepayers of the Castlereagh Ward of the Municipal District of Penrith, and pray that the said Ward may be separated from that Municipality and erected into a distinct Municipality, to be called the Municipal District of Castlereagh.
2. That the area of the proposed Municipality is about nine square miles and that the population exceeds 500.
The following are the reasons why they desire to be separated :— .
That the Municipal Council of Penrith have recently determined to borrow the sum of £6,600 for the purpose of lighting the town with electric light; and that in order to carry out the project it will be necessary to levy special rates.
That, as they live at a considerable distance from the town, they will derive no benefit through its being lit with electricity; but, on the other hand, will be called upon to bear a considerable share of the cost.
"Your Petitioners most humbly pray that your Excellency will cause the said Ward to be proclaimed a separate Municipality, or otherwise withhold your sanction to any application that may be made to borrow by the Municipal Council of Penrith until the passing of a new Local Government Bill."
