TWO VOTES IN FAMILY.
HUSBANDS AND WIVES.
The question whether, in the election of representatives to the Wellington College Board of Governors, voting, should bo given to both parents in a family, was raised at a meeting of the board last week. The chairman, Mr. W. F. Ward, said that he considered one vote in one. family was quite enough. If the husband and wife both voted in different directions, remarked a member, tihere would probably result a split in family circles. Mrs. Kane remarked that it was hardly fair that the wife, who was a citizen as 'well as her husband, should not have a vote. The board decided to signify its approval of two votes being allowed to a family.
