§ 70. Major M'CALMONTasked whether a Road Board Grant, applied for by the Larne Urban District Council through the Antrim County Council in January, 1912, for the purpose of tar-spraying work for the 1912 season, was not approved until November; whether any reply has yet been sent to the application of this council made in November last for a Grant towards a new road to relieve summer congestion and lessen danger; if so, on what date and to what effect; and whether these applications can be more expeditiously dealt with?
§ Mr. MASTERMANNo such application was received by the Road Board in January, 1912. The Board received from the Antrim County Council on the 19th September, 1912, an application for a Grant towards several works in the county which included expenditures on surface tarring in Larne. The Board required additional information to enable them to deal with the application. This was received on 31st October 1912, and a Grant was made to the county council on the 16th November, 1912. No application has been received on behalf of the Lame Urban District Council for a Grant towards "a new road to relieve summer congestion and lessen danger," but on the 12th November last inquiries were made by the Larne Urban District Council as to the procedure for making such an application. These inquiries were replied to on the 14th November last and since then no further communication has been received by the Board.
