Members expressed agreement with the suggested alteration in tlie name, Cr. Harris said he did not see that the council was concerned with the inclusion or otherwise of Waiki’io and Karangahake. The chairman said that it would concern the county if it was agreed to extend the Mercer electorate to the Piako River, as had been suggested though not mentioned in the communication. iOn the motion of Cr. Mayn, seconded by Cr. Reid, the council gave its support to the change in name, Cr.

This was supported by Cr. Reid, and it was decided that the clerk advise the Mayor of Paeroa that the Plains County Council did not object to the alteration on tlie condition mentioned by the chairman.
