County Elections
Support to a proposal -tliat all local authority elections be held on the last Saturday in May was given nt the conference of representatives of ten county councils held in Tauranga last week. The, question was introduced in a motion moved by Mr J. A. Bec'k seconded by Mr A. A. Jenkinson, which read that county elections be held in the spring ? say November or October. Mr Beck thought that vrith this arrangement •county council stalls would have more time and if a council were elected in October or November, it would not be faced with immediate-i ly collecting the rates. An amendment that the elections be held on the last Saturday in May i? moved by Mr T. Barrett, chairman of the Ohinemuri county and seconded by Mr W. Parlitt chairman of the, 9. Hauralti Plains council was carried.
