Z Infoimation regarding the non-con-stimers’ rate and .the cost of erecting poles was supplied by the Power Board in response to a request. .. y Mr Hoff, at whose request the info rm at i<m was sought, said that the, information supplied was insufficient. ; ; He moved that Mr AV. E. G. Willy, .the district representative on the Thames ’ Valley Electric Power Board, be asked to explain the whole matter at the >' next general meeting of the associa- J tion. ' V . AMBULANCE STRETCHER. - On the motion of Mr Booth it was r decided to ask the Thames Hospital ' Board to supply an ambulance stretcher for use at Kerepeehi. - - j THE DOMAIN. A. letter dated October 29, 1924', "was i received from the Commissioner of Crown Lands in reference to the re- ; ,y. creation reserve and the necessity of .: complying with his request of July 24. 1924, to appoint a domain board. No reply had been received to the request. The chairman stated that the board. . had been appointed on Ju.'ily 16. He would make inquiries as to whether the notification had been -forwarded. It would be a good thing if the names < of the members of the board had not been iorwarded, as in view of the ■’ later development it was not now desirable to have the domain gazetted, as the land given in exchange for, ' that purchased by the. A. and P. Association was liable to flooding, and, further, it had been reduced in size by the action of the Government in acquiring a portion for a public road. J Only about four acres now remained. The chairman and secretary w r ere deputed to interview the Minister for Lands on his visit to Kerepeehi. . MINISTER'S VISIT. ' The secretary was instructed to ac-' > quaint Mr H. Poland, M.P., with the' '.f desire of the association to w'ait upon, y the Minister in regard to the domain ■ '•£ and w>th reference to the metalling of the township roads and postal facilities.
