In my civic experience I have attended numerous conferences, but I have never attended one where the business was more expeditiously carried through than the Wanganui conference, presided over by Mr. Rogers, and I congratulate him on the manner in which the conference was conducted and the arrangements made.” (Applause.) In reply. Mr. Rogers thanked Mr. Baildon and delegates for their expressions of appreciation, and said he had always tried to be fair. The next Municipal Conference will be held at Invercargill.
