Advico — has been received by tlie Hutt-T Elver. Board; from its solicitor, Mr. E. P. Bunny, that the passage of the Land Drainage and River Protection Bill jias been postponed until next Session of Parliament. The Bill provides ior the alteration in the date of all river board, elections.. Up to the: time o£ the last triennial election^ tiia took place on{ th& second Tuesday 'in. January.

If the BilLis. passed, tlie next election odE the Board will be in May 193& Another effect of the Bill -will be to consolidate the Eiver Board Act of 1908 and embcfdyin^ land drainage.
