SUGGESTION TO MOVE HEADQUARTERS. THE MOTION DEFEATED. A special meeting of the New Zealand Council of the Royal Life-Saving Society was held to receive a motion, of which three months' notice had been given, tliat the headquarters of the Council be moved to Wellington. Mr B. O'Neill (Wellington) was the mover. There was a full meeting of the Council, Mr F. J. Lawrence Scott, vice-president, presiding. The motion was moved as set out in Clause 2 of the constitution, which stipulates that a majority of two-thirds of the votes recorded is necessary to carry the motion. •Mr P. G. Bamford (Wellington) and Mr H. J. Ballin (Taranaki) stated that their Centres were quite satisfied with the present Council, and therefore they were instructed to vote against any change. Mr Brown (Manawatu) stated that although his Centre had at first favoured the change, they had now given him authority to use his own discretion. On the motion being put, it was lost by two votes to five, the delegates from Wellington and Auckland being the only supporters.
