Sis—ln yonr issue of Wednesday* last, Mr Matthew Griffith* Chairmad and Returning Officer of <the above Beard notifies that nominations wfil he taken on Monday, at Stafford,- for three new members for said Board, bdt had omitted (which die Aet refgiiireiis) to give the names of the three retiring members whose vacancies are io be filled rip. lie appears also, to have overlooked the fact that the' Act requires seven clear days 7 notice to be giveri of such nominations; neither of* which conditions hatte as .yet been eomplied with. In these days of public? exactness, (and especially in matters relating to a body which in all .its actions has been-so scrupulously nice) the
Board has, determined for the ratepayers that the provisions of the Westland j^ct, ; ,.ij.B6B,” s (so long as this body-corporate exists) must be adhered to. But why „all -this fuss of holding the election at Stafford 1 Surely the hustings in juont of one of tlje two hotels where the acting trio, hdjd theft meetings might have satisfied ratepayers equally well.—l am, <kc. #1 ., , SdßuTlioA.
