It was resolved to ask the local bodies to pass resolutions in support of tho amendment, and Messrs. ,1. A. Park and A. U. Barclay were authorised to proceed to Wellington to endeavour to secure the passage of the amendment, the effect of which would he to leave the local bodies to take action without having to wait for the approval of the Govertior-in-Council.
