THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS.
TO THB KDITOR OF THB PRESS. Sir.—l think it is much to be regretted that some further steps have not been taken by those who, last ytar, were so warm ou the subject of .bringiug in a Rill to alter tlie constitution of this Board and the mode of election of members. A greater farce does not exist than the election at present. The only constituents are the graduates, who arescattered all over the colony, and if a contest takes . place some of these men are actually paid their expenses for coming to Christchurch, as they must be present to vote.. I think, it is hardly necessary to say more to show the absurdity of having members of a Board having the. distribution of large public estates elected in such a hole and corner manner.. . The Government really ought to take the matter up.— Yours, &&, One of the Public
