THREATENED BREAK-AWAY
j PLEA FOE GREATEE J UNANUVHTY j That there exists among certain of the communities east of the ranges a strong desire to break away from the Manawatu catchment district was disclosed for rne first time at the special meeting ;of the Manawatu Caicriment Boara in Palmerston North on Monday for the purpose of electing a new chairman. In an papnppt plea for greater unanJmity within the board, Mr. J. B. C-arrufhprs said that there had been a strong moye on the other side of the ranges to break away from the board. He had used his best endeavours to dissuade those behind the move, but he felt that if the dissensioas within the board eonlinued the break would occur. "For some time past there has been an atmosphere of mistru'st around this board table," said Mr. Carruthers. "We are all chairmen of county councils, municipalities or other local bodies, and we think we know just a little bit more than the others. It is time for us t'o sink our differences and to work harmoniously for the furtherance of the board's activities and purposes."
