The Council paid a tribute to the work for transport in Christchurch and for the sport of trotting in New Zealand, of the late Mi 1 William Hayward, of Christchurch, who was a member of the Legislative Council from 1934 to 1941, and who died last week. The Council adjourned as a mark of respect to his memory until to-morrow. This is further indication that New Zealand is becoming full grown, said Hon. T.
