HORAHIA DRAINAGE.

AITOINTMEiNT OF BOARD. AN ELECTION NECESSARY. When a drainage area is constituted the trustees are appointed from tlie whole area and they hold office for one year. During that year the board may divide the area into smaller areas and fix tlie representation thereof. Tlie Horahia Board has now been in office for a year, and it has divided the area into three, namely, Northern, Central, and Southern, and fixed tlie representation as three trustees for the northern and two for the other aJi’eas. Nominations for the new board closed on Monday, and the fol’owing were received : — Northern Area. —Messrs W. E. Hale, J. C. Miller, and'S'. S. Murray. Central Area. —Messrs H. H. Hicks, F. A. Kneeb'one, W. McDuff, and J. McKercliar. Southern Area.—No nominations received. . The three nominees for the northern area have been edclared appointed. Mr S. S. Murray was not a mem-, her of the previous, board. To select the ,twp trustees for the Central area an election will be held on Mbnday next, November 2, at the residence of Mr F. A. Kneebone, Hbrahia. Mr H. H. Hicks was not a member of the previous board. Two nominations for tlie Southern area were received by the returning officer after the time stipulated, and therefore had to be ignored. Possibly the fact that there was no postal delivery on Monday was the cause of the lateness. The nominations were those of Messrs J. M. Thompson and R. L. Davies, the late of the board from tlie Kerepeehi end of the area. Application will be made to the Governor-General in Council for the appointment of two trustees for this area.
