A ilGcusJoii then arose as to whether only those within the school district were to be allowed to vote and speak oil the ijucsuon. or all those interested in the school might express the views, boat-! 'I nib: was expressed as to who was in die district- and who was not. !’})<• Education Hoard clearly should try to readjust the botmun-ics of the dutrics us it was stated that the licdci;!;' 1 ijstrict roaches to the Waihao Had *•. anil residents who tire seven or eight miles away irom the U. dclih ■scit cl acd only three or four from the M;ihal:i one, yet are defined by the Hoard to he in the Kodcliil district, dlie Aiiu iman finally ruled that only householders in the district be allowed to vote. Mr McGowan stated that by ■del iy tin-., they were no nearer getting tile eidutian than be fore, as trio Hoard ■"oo, i mt, regard the matter settled mud ih-y had the voice of tho whole surrou.ahug district. Fie therefore prop h ol that all interested in tl o chot-1 ■should he allowed to vote. Tho Ghairtuau, however, refused to put his motion to the meeting. A heated di-’oussion now took place. The new settlers maintained that they were only delaying the extension 1 0l the school, by not allowing them to express their views. Finally Mr Harvey too!: a vote of the householders of thu d.s-r ict on the question and it was decided almost unanimously to ask the lloard to leave the school whore it now is. Tins result is to bo forwarded to the Education Hoard, but it is mooted •that those interested in the school who were not . llowed to vote are going to -scud delegates to the Board meeting. 'Vuitcvor is done should bo dona U'lickly, as the Hoard are applying for tui Infant Mistress for tho school, and h will aim Ht bs impossible for two tracii ,i’.j to teach in the building ■wulcss an addition is put to it.
