THE BOUNDARIES.
The prediction made in yesterday's "Age-" that the report of the Boundaries Commission would disclose the addition of one electorate in the Auckland district, has been fulfilled. So also haß the prediction; that the Masterton electorate would encroach still further on the Pahiatua ejectorate. The slice of the Pahiatua electorate that lias 'been added to Masterton cannot, however, play an important part in either the general election or uie licensing poll, as only about three hundred votes are involved. It is to -.• regretted tlvat it has (been found impossible to secure anything like a .community of interests in the readjustment of the boundaries. It is absurd.that Pongaroa should .be in the Masterton electorate, and Upper Plain in the Wairarapa. In other electorates the same anomalies exist, the only 'satisfaction to be derived from them being that they may tend to diminish the parish pump element in politics. ,
