COUNTY COUNCIL’S CONFERENCE.
(PEK PKESS ASSOCIATION.) Wellington, July 17.

On reaching that part of the Bill relating to finance it was resolved to recommend the inclusion of a new clause that one-half the proceeds of the sale of standing timber on Crown lands be paid to the County Councils where such Crown Jund is situated.
A resolution was passed urging on Government the desirability of making further subsidies to local bodies, members of the Scenery Preservation Society and other enthusiasts.
They bad a busy day to-day planting trees in celebration of Arbor Day. About 1,600 were planted.
