WELLINGTON, May 161 The^ City .Council to-night adopted the report of the Legislation Committee1 ttrtlie1 effect that the Local' Government Bill in its present form would destroy the independence of the city, and leave its finances and affairs at the mercy of a constituency with which it had no community of interest. The committee was of opinion that the Bill would entail upon the city a large increase in its contribution to hospital and charitable aid, and a new charge in respect of education. The committee could not see- that any benefit would accrue to the city in any way comparable-to the grave risks involved.
