ARBITRATION COURT
THE NEW JUDGE
MR. E. PAGE, S.M., APPOINTED
An official announcement was made today that Mr. Edward Page, senior Magistrate at Wellington, had been appointed Judge of the Arbitration Court, in succession to Mr. Justice Frazer, who was recently appointed deputy chairman of the Executive Commission of Agriculture.
It is understood that Mr. Justice Frazer will take the New Plymouth sittings of the Court tomorrow, and that Mr. Justice Page will commence his new duties at Palmerston North next week.
Mr. Justice Page was born in Wellington in 1877, his father being Mr. J. E. Page, who at that time filled the office of Town Clerk. He was educated
at Clyde Quay School and at Wellington College. Qualifying as a barrister and solicitor at a comparatively early age, he entered into the practice of his profession at Eketahuna in 1903 and remained there until 1912, when he received his appointment as a Magistrate. While in Eketahuna he took an active part in local politics, and from 1909 to 1912 sat as Mayor of the borough. He held the rank of major in the Ninth (Wellington) Mounted Rifles. In addition to his Magisterial duties in Wellington, he was on several occasions chosen by the Government to carry out special investigations.
