PROPOSED NEW BOUNDARIES, At a meeting of delegates of the Taranaki Rugby (Tirion held on Wednesday night, there were present: J Messrs E. N alder iHawera—who was 'voted to the chair!, P. Skoglund, B. • Fearon (Kaponga), J. CJillick, G.' Morrison (Eastern Sub-union), A. Smith (Inglewood), C. Jackson'(Stratford), A. Hansen (Eltham), I). Ryan (Manaia). 1 The business of the evening was the consideration of the proposed new boundaries.

Mr Skoglund said that Stratford Club was quite satisfied with the boundaries of their district, and it depended whether the Eastern Districts and the Inglewood Club were satislied with the boundaries.

Mr Gilliek'lEastern Districts) said that a meeting of his club had been held, and they wore quite agreeable to accept the boundaries recommended by the management committee. There was, however, considerable discussion about the boundary between Stratford and Inglewood.

Mr Smith said the proposed boundary would cut out Tariki from Inglewood, and gnve it to Stratford, which was most unfair. Tariki was the jmainstay of Inglewood, and by taking away Tariki they took about eighteen ,players from Inglewood. ft' meant the killing of the Inglewood club. Mr Jackson said he did not want it to be thought for one minute that Stratford Club wanted to hurt the Inglewood Club. Stratford was only asking for a fair share. The boundary under consideration was recommended at the meeting of the Stratford Club, and he had spoken against taking in Tariki for 'be reason that it would spoil Inglewood.
