CONFERENCE OF LOCAL BODIES.
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Hokitika, Jane 13. A conference of local bodies on the West Coast was held here last night. The bodies represented were the Buffer, Grey, and Westland County Councils ; Hokitika, Kumars, and Ross Borough Councils ; Grey and Westland Charitable Aid Boards ; Westland Education Board ; and Hokitika Harbour Board. Twelve resolutions were carried, the principal ones being that the present counties on the West Coast should remain intact, and also that there were too many local bodies, leaving it to the Government to say which should be done away with. There is a strong feeling against amalgamating any of the counties, as indicated in Mr Fergus’ speech at Queenstown. The resolutions were ordered to be sent to the Ministry and the members of Parliament.
