A LIVELY MEETING.
NORTH CANTERBURY CHARITABLE AID BOARD. [BY TELEGRAPH — VHESS ASSOCIATION.] CHRISTCHURCH, 7th December. The town and country issue was very much to the fore at the statutory meeting of the Hospital and Charitable Aid Boards to-day. The country members had secured a majority at the election on each Board, and, it is alleged, had "cut and dried" the election of officers and committees and other routine matters. They attended in 'force and carried their preconceived programmes. 1 Despite vigorous protests by the town members on the Charitable Aid Board, they elected a country delegate as Chairman, decided to meet every six weeks instead of monthly, limited the main committee to seven members instead of the whole Board, and put, a majority of country members on the new committee thus constituted. The meeting was a lively and prolonged one. At about 5 p.m. the country members announced that they coulchwait no longer, and carried an adjournment^in order to catch their trains.
