It was decided that the Wellington Executive be the Conference Executive for the year, and that items for the order paper must be in the hands of the Executive two months before the meeting of the Conference; that affiliated Councils subscribe £t each in recognition of the services of the secretary; that members of the Conference should be bona fide members of the Councils they represent, and that members of both Houses of Parliament be excluded from seats on the Conference | that for motives of economy and convenience the Conference meet alternately in Wellington and Christchurch.
