Mr Macandrew proposed, and Mr Raynbird seconded—That Mr Wm. Dickson be chairman." This was carried unanimously. Mr Dickaon thanked the members for the honourable position they had placed him in. He would do in the future as he had done in the past, and the honour just conferred was to his mind out of place, as other gentlemen in the board were as worthy of the position as himßelf, and more so. However, as he was the man of their choice he would accept it. The Returning Officer reported the result of the polling held at Broad Bay and Portobello.
