HOSITT.U, DISTIIkTS. Mr. Okcy. 11.P., wrote fWivardiiij: a copy nf (lie proposed Hospital :r,u] Charitable Aid Hill, now before Parliament.— Tlio cliaimian said under I lie liill it, was proposed to iiielnde I lie wlioic of tliu Egmout county in the Taninuki dis-

trict. At present the county was partly in the Taronaki and partly in the 11awcra district.—Cr. Maxwell asked if it would be desirable to have the whole county included in Tanuiald—The chairman said that from the Oco end by road it would be 52 miles to New Plymouth, whilst to Hawera it was only 18 miles.—Cr. Farquhar thought the distance was too great from his end of the i di-triet to reach Xew Plymouth to make ! it advisable to have the whole county ■ included in the Taranaki district—Cr. .Maxwell said it was necessary to look into these proposed measures as some most astounding blunders were made, and ins'tanuced where in the schedule to the New Plvmouth Mill it provided Hint it should consist of electors of the Tnrn- ■' miki and Pa lea districts, whereas there was not a single elector in the Taranaki harbor district, lie supposed they had taken some ancient map when the whole

district was likelv embraced in those I electorates. He moved that the nicinIbers for Taranaki (Messrs Okey and 1 Hive) be requested to endeavor to gel 1 a:i alteratimi in the Hill so as lo let boundaries as far as this county was concerned remain as at present-Sec-onded by Cr.
