POINTS FROM LETTERS
HUGH PATTERSON (Gisborne) offers a method by which by-elections in war time could be avoided. The proposal is that city, borough, and county councils and town boards in each electorate, form by delegates from each, Electorate Councils, each such council to appoint a member of Parliament, purely as a delegate changeable at will. The members of the Electorate Councils would have voting power Proportional to the population in their areas, and the borough franchise for electors would be adopted for the election of members of councils and town boards.
