“WHERE 19 NELSON.”
Great amusement was caused at the Municipal Conference, held in Nelson recently, when delegates discussed the location of the conference for 1929. It has hitherto been an unwritten law that- the conferences are to be held alternatively in the North and South Islands. In defiance of this understanding the Timnru delegates pressed the. claims of their own borough. "When reminded that the honour should go north next year. Timaru’s Mayor naively remarked that “the South always regarded Nelson as being in the North Island.” Such desertion by his colleagues provoked a Nelson delegate to protest that the South Island without Nelson would be “like a king without a crown, or a ring without a gem.” Ultimately, by an eliminating vote, it was decided to hold the next conference jn Wanganui early in March, 1929.
