URBAN AFFAIRS

(Continued from page 5.) (One Tree Hill) moved the following amendment to the remit: “That for the protection of householders the Government be requested to enact appropriate legislation making it compulsory for all hawkers to wear a numbered armband or other suitable means of identification and for the issue by agreement between the local authorities of licences covering more than one local district and further that the association request the Minister in charge of the Police Department to arrange for police assistance for local bodies, in the control of hawkers.” —Adopted. Consideration was given to the question of increasing the subscriptions of members to the association. The scale of revised subscriptions provided for an increase of approximately 25 per cent, the amount to be computed on a population basis. The new scale was adopted unanimously. It was decided that the 1940 conference be held in Wellington. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The election of officers resulted as follows:— President, Mr T.
