Most of flic objections concerned three hotels in the. Auckland province,. which, bad been, included in the “dry” areas of Eden and Ohmemuri. The. report,-of the; '■ Commissionovs -has itot ycL licc-n jirrsi'iiU'd. but it is understood that these cases were not difficult to deal with. Tlie lintels have been restored to their former, electorates, it is understood also that the demand of Tlie people of Tauinanninj, that the Ammo df-’Wayuari'no electorate, should 'bo• changed to Taumaruuui since this town, has been included in it has not been conceded, for the reason, that tho greater part pi the district as now‘constituted is that part which was lormer.ly included .in -tlie electorates of AYairnarino. A sinrilrir demand, was made, by. the pebplo of Dannevlrke. They claimed that their town, which was formerly the biggest-Aown in the electorate of AVajpawa', is now the biggest in the electorate of Ralriatna, and they Asked That the name of the electorate bo changed-to Dannevlrke. There were objections to this, one of them being that whereas Paimtna is in the contra of . tho district.sDnnnevirke is on the fringe of it. It is nmlcr-stood that this request also has been refused by the Commissioners. ■ . The South Island Commissioners have much more complicated tasks, and it is not expected' that- they will complete their lahoni.-s for.,,some time .yet.
