TE AROHA COUNCIL
POWER BOARD MEMBERSHIP ELECTORAL DISTRICT CHANGES [by telegraph—own correspondent] TE AROHA, Friday Reporting on a conference held between representatives of the Thames Valley Electric-Power Board and tho Tc Aroha Borough Council, the Mayor, Mr. R. Coulter, M.P., said at a meeting of the council that the Power Board had suggested that Te Aroha should waive its right to a representative on tho board, and combine with Thames in having a joint representative. This was to allow the borough of Waihi to be represented. The To Aroha delegates, said . Mr. Coulter, refused to agree to that, as there was no community of interest between Thames and To Aroha, and Te Aroha could bo out-voted by the larger population of Thames. Waihi and raeroa would be a more natural combination. •' : ' _ ' With regard to the proposed alteration of electoral boundaries, it was decided to write to the Commission pointing out that Te Aroha's interests lay with the country districts to the west, rather than to tho north. It would be preferable to include To Aroha in tho Waikato or Hauraki electorates, rather than in Thames. t
