Division at Pahiatua (By Telegraph—Press Association.) PAHIATUA, Sept. 18. At a meeting of business men of I’ahiatua. where professional and business men of all types were given a voice and power to vote, a change to Saturday half-day was carried by 34 to 23. Die meeting also decided that the change be made on the first Saturday in October after a previous amendment making the change on January 3, moved by the Wednesday adherents, had been lost by one vote. It was obvious from the tone of the latter section that they have no intention of dosing in accordance with tho resolution passed. They would rather have a divided town. This body organised a meeting of bona fide retailers governed by the Shops and Offices Aet last night, when a decision was arrived at by a i/vge majority that the Saturday half-day bo observed after the Christmas and New Year trading had been completed.
