Member’s Qualification
The question whether a member of the board, by removing his residence from one part of the district to another, had lost his qualification to represent his old area on the Poverty Bay Electric-Power Board was discussed in an opinion received by the board to-day from the counsel of the Power Boards’ Association. The effect of the opinion was that under the legislation governing power authorities, it was not necessary for the member to vacate his seat, as it would be in a parallel case affecting a county council. The member would have the right to continue to represent his original elective area until the expiry of his term. The opinion was received with satisfaction.
