CITY OF DUNEDIN INCORPORATION. A Bill ‘To Incorporate the Inhabitants of the City of Dunedin” . . . was yesterday ia id on the table of the Provincial Council and read a first time. . . . The Corporation of the City of Dunedin . . . to consist of a Mayor and of two Councillors for each ward, to be elected by the ratepayers on the Citizens’ Rolls THE TOWN BOARD. (To the Editor of the Daily Times. ) Sin, —We observe a paragraph in your Daily Times of to-day, stating “that after the meeting of (bp members of the Town. Board held on Friday last, at which Mr Hastings was instructed to send the keys to Messrs Howorth, Barton, and Howortb, he accordingly did tender possession of the keys to that firm,” etc. We beg to state that we. the undersigned, attended at that meeting on Friday, last, and that we confirmed the resolution moved by Mr Hayings on the Monday previous (May 1), which was to the effect that the keys, etc., were not to be given up until the citizens were enfranchised or the Governor had signified his pleasure to “the Dunedin Town Board Dissolution; Ordinance, 1865.” We still adhere to the justness of that resolution, and believe that the Superintendent or no other public functionary has power to nominate anv person to supersede the Town Board or the representatives of the town of Dunedin.
