In consequence of the words "exclusive of chair m in" having unintentionally been left ia sec 19 Counties Act, ocjurred to me that it would be safest to have seven members for count j iostead of six. I had no time to consult a y one, and I telegraphed make Tamahere Aoad Board district a riding, and give ono member. Instead of this Kirikiriroa was reduced to two and Tamahere uiven two 1 am sorry that there i« no power now to make alteration, but County Council can do it when they meet. Fked. Whitakbr.
