COUNTIES ASSOCIATION
WHERE EXECUTIVE RESIDES QUERY FROM WHAKATANE Circular letters from the New Zealand Counties Association, asking whether or not. a conference was favoured this year aroused considerable discussion at tlie meeting of the Whakatane County Council. Cr McCracken contended that there should be some ward system devised whereby - members of the executive could be made to represent. a certain section of the Counties affiliated to the Association. The present system, he declared to be most unsatisfactory. The Chairman: I shouldn't say it buit I expect, a fair bit of lobbying goes: on when. it. comes to an election. Cr McCrackcn said that his suggestion would be to form a Ratepayers Association in each district, which would put up a delegate for conference. As it was; at present it was just, 'rafferty rules.' Cr Burt added, that from what he knew the members of the executiVc were elected from districts as near as possible to Wellington. It. was finally decided that the Council did not. favour a conference this year and that the Association be asked where the Executive Com-> mittee members reside.
