On the motion of Mr Barratt, seconded by Mr Chisnail, the report and balance sheet submitted were adopted. On the motion of Mr Barratt, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the outgoing Committee. The election of School Committee for the current year was then proceeded with, and the following unanimously chosen: H. J. Barratt, Jas. Boyd, H. Chisnall, W. G. Chisnall, J. Paap, E. O. Palmer and G. Taylor. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the proceedings. The Committee met subsequently and unanimously made choice of Mr G. Taylor as Chairman.

WAIAU.

Apathy was displayed at Waiau over the election, and there was a very small attendance, so small, indeed, that one of those present had to go out and obtain the assent of another householder to complete the number required to form a Committee, which was declared elected as follows: Messrs Bayliffe, Creed, Green, Mitchell, O’Malley, Scaife and Stevens. Mr O’Malley was elected Chairman, and Mr Bayliffe reelected Secretary.
