Whereas it is desirable to combine the tramways, trolley bus, and omnibus undertakings of the New Plymouth City Council and the separate accounts heretofore kept by the Council in respect thereof:
And whereas the Council has established and fully equipped with plant and machinery a factory for the manufacture of concrete poles for carrying overhead electric lines:
And whereas in order to operate such plant and machinery efficiently and to retain the services of an experienced staff therefor it is necessary to manufacture a quantity of poles exceeding the number required for the Council's own purposes, and the surplus poles are sold by the Council to certain Electric Power Boards and government departments:
And whereas it is doubtful whether the Council may lawfully manufacture and sell such surplus poles, and it is desirable to remove any such doubt.
