The Chairman presented the report from the sub-committee appointed to go into the question of boundaries, which was to the effect that Huia and •West End boundaries should lie ed, and that Kaiti and City should combine ; also that the boundary between Huia and Kaiti should be the Waimata river. After going into the matter carefully the report was adopted. The Union then went into committee.

Owing to Mr Laurenson having been compelled to resign his office as delegate to the New Zealand Union, the Chairman stated that he and the secretary had (owing to short notice), taken upon themselves to ask Mr R. C. Sim to accept the position, and he had received a communication from that gentlemen accepting, and it would be for the meeting to confirm their action or otherwise.
