LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL.
The (retiring Mayor of Masterton is emphasising the fact that an im/portant conference of delegates of local bodies is' about to ibe held in Wellington, to consider the Local G-overn-aneuit-Bill,, ,an d he says "the ratepayers moist (make sure that they are represented there by men who have a mialtuire experience of (the present state of (local government." Possibly ,'Mr Cbraidme wiill ,be able to till, us (what voice the ratepayers have in the ajppointn'ien't tof delegates /to that conference. The fact that he regards itilie conference (of such immense importanice, show* that he is not ii student of. political events. The -local iGrovernonent Bill has .no more chance of becoming law in its .present form than' ■M.r .Ooradine has ■cl.-:'be : ?o ; Vernier cf fthe .Dominion. The proposed conference bears no more relation to iocal .govcrrunent than the executioner .does to the man on the gallows. It is being summoned- .with no other object than to give the Bill the happy despatch.
