HOSPITAL & CHARITABLE AID BOARD ELECTION

I THE NEW BODY FORMED. REMARKABLE APATHY OF VOTERS Despite the fact that the amalgamator of tho Hospital Board, the Bonevolonl Trustees, and the Hospital Trustees undei j-ho now Hospital and Charitable Instihi lions Act marks an epoch in the history ol . charitable aid -administration in New Zea > land, the public has shown a most'regret . tab!,; lack of interest in regard to the event, . lJiis was indicated by the fact that three of tiie combined contributing districts undoi I the now system failetl to nominate repre : sensitives, and # was proved by the ciectioi: ot representatives—the first under the new act-held yesterday. The most promincnl ' feature of the election as a whole was tin I very small number of votes cast in the i different districts, as compared with the , number of persons entitled to go to the , poll. As the voting proceeded "yesterday t the total ond most regrettable' absence of any form of keen public interest and the very small stream of voters that trickle* ' through the various booths made it evident that the vote wis goim; to be a very smal. : one. And so it proved when the numbers i were announced. Some idea of the post 1 tion may be gained by the following figure (which are only approximate): — Combined Number District. on roll. Votes Cast , Duncdin, etc 12,000 1,500 Roslyn, etc 6,400 750 Waihcmo, etc. ... 3,2C0 350 Totals 21,600 2,600 The following gentlemen acted as ehie: returning officers in the three districts interested:— Duncdin, etc., Mr R. Sv. Richards; ltc«lyn. etc., Mr Chadcc Wedge; Waihcmo, etc., Mr J. Pbrtcous.- Each ol these gentlemen made excellent arrange, ment for the handling of the poll, but their j resources' were, naturally not unduly taxed, I Voting ceased at 6 p.m. at Port Glial- | mers, Waikouaiti, and Palmerston, and at 7 o'clock in the city and suburbs. The coiuiting of the votes was concluded at an early hour, and the results were known al Roslyn before 8 o'clock,. and at the Oily Town Hall an hour later. Only half a dozen ratepayers assembled at Roslyn, and there,' were no speeches made, and there was an assemblage of less than a scoro at the Town Hall. Eaoh of the candidate who was present at the declaration of the poll at the latter place addressed the ratepayers, returning thanks for his election or the support given him. The following is the result of the elections : — COMBINED DISTRICT OF THE CITY. OF DUNEDIN AND THE BOROUIJij OF WEST HARBOUR. (Si-: members.)
