ROTORUA TOWN BILL
Press Association,
Eotobtta, July 15. The Chamber of Commerce to-day wired Chambers of Commerce in the colony as follows: — " Botorua Town Bill is being rushed through in undue haste, therefore wire your representatives to oppose the third reading to-morrow (Tuesday). Residents have had no time to consider same; very important." The following telegram was sent to Sir Joseph Ward: —Eesidents very surprised at the attempt to rush Botorua Town Bill without a chance of consideration as to its effects. Kindly postpone third reading. There has been unseemly haste and it is certainly not just to leaseholders, who should certainly have a voice in the management of the town. A telegram was also sent to MrHerries urging him to oppose the third reading, and a letter posted to him this morning. Eesidents consider the action of Government most unconstitutional.
