THE CENTENNIAL
LOCAL BODY HISTORY
Appealing to the conference of the Institute of County Clerks to assist in making the Centennial celebrations national in character, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon W. E. Parry, said it was essential that all who had any responsibilities in relation to government should do their best to see that the celebrations were on a fitting scale. Perhaps one of the things which would fall within the scope of the activities of county clerks was the collection of such documents as related to the history of their own local bodies. Within the next few years, the Minis, ter said, it was obvious that some authoritative history of the development of local government in the Dominion would have to be written, and it could not be written Without the wholehearted co-operation of all local body executive officers. The writing of a complete history would be of definite -assistance in the developing of a local government machine such as would adequately fit the needs of the Dominion.
