At a meeting of the association oxocutivo last night Colonel K. S. itcQuarric said that tho Karori cpnimittco was making particularly good headway. Tho major difficulties had been smoothed out, and in hia opinion tho lines on which the committee was operating might well be accepted as a model. Kef erring to the other suburbs, Colonnl McQuarriesaid that last Monday Colonel Cowles and Sir. J. Spenco, thu association's president,and secretary respectively, had attended meetings at Lyall Bay and Kilbirnie.
