ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES
A BELATED REVISION SOUTH ISLAND LOSES SEAT Press Association WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The Electoral Boundary Commissioners are expected shortly to proceed with the revision of the boundaries of Parliamentary electorates of the North and South Islands. According to the disclosures of the last census on the matter of distribution of population, it was shown that the North had 63.39 per cent, of the population, and the South 36.61. This means the inevitable loss of a seat from the South Island to the North Island. There has been a suggestion among Southern Parliamentarians that the North should be given its extra seat, but that the South’s representation should remain unchanged. Apparently this view has not impressed the Government, since the belated revision is now to proceed.
