In his opening remarks the president severely commented on the apathy of the settlers in attending the general meetings. In th ■ absence of so many of the - ] executive only the most urgent business was dealt with. The matter of sending a delegate to Wellington in connection with the petition that has been largely signed was discussed at some length. Or. the motion of Mr Alder, seconded by Mr Thompson, it was decided to ser.d Messrs O'Dwyer and Jackson a~ deleSates with the petition to T -V;-ll:nrt:n. Since the last meeting Ve ; srs Ellictt.
