It was stated that the meeting fully and frankly discussed the methods adopted in the administration 3.f various local bodies in Christchurch. An entirely new and progressive policy for the association was submitted and received warm approval, members offering their wholehearted support for furthering the effort of the association to carry out its proposals. ! it was also stated that if given i effect to the new policy will result in a substantial saving to the ratepayers in the very near future, and that it is confidently expected that the proposals will meet with a large measure of support from t'.ie citizens generally.
