The districts named Eden and Roskill in 1925 are now Auckland Suburbs and Eden respectively, the name Roskill having been transferred to the new district. Twelve districts adopted no-licence under the local option -.vstem, beginning with Clutha in 1894 and ending with six in 1908. As a result of tho changes in electoral boundaries, and in spite of the elimination of Ohinemuri, there a-e still 12 "dry" districts Bruce, which carried nolicence in 1908, and Ashburton, which had abolished licences in 1902, have disappeared from (lie list of electorates, but Roskill, Auckland Suburbs and Wellington East have been added through the division of no-licence districts.
