A question that lias been exercising the minds of electors consequent on tho change in electorates has been at length authoritatively decided. There will be no local option poll at the coming election in the Arid-Canterbury electorate, as a larger number of electors have boon transferred from the old Ellesmere electorate to Alid-Canter-bur.v than from tho old Ashburton electorate. In all, 4993 names from Ellesmere and 4603 from Ashburton have been transferred to the new AlidCanterbury district by the Registrar of Electors (Air C. O Pratt), while 3134 transfers linvo been made from the old Ashburton district to the Temuka electorate. The 9600 names contained in tho main roll, which closed recently, compare with 7700 on the main roll of the old Ashburton electorate for the 1925 elections.
