CANDIDATES AT THE POLLS NOMINATIONS CLOSE FEW CHANGES IN SOME COUNTIES Nominations for membership of aorne of the local bodies in Canterbury closed at noon on Wednesday. In the majority of boroughs and counties, however, the nominations will not eloss until to-day, and some will not close until to-morrow. The nominations are for membership of county and borough councils; county representatives on harbour, hospital, and power boards; river trusts, and rabbit boards.
