It was said to be absolutely necessary that this increased power should be given them.
Other changes suggested were that the mayor and councillors hhould go into office on the same fay, and tbat in the case of a tio at an election the Returning Officer should be required to decide the election by lot publicly.
The Premier, in reply, agreed that it was necessary that Hospital and Charitable Aid Boards should have power given them to acquire land, as had been suggested.
