Milton resident has lodged a protest'with the Otago Education Board against the legality of the election of the school committee for the Tokomairiro District High, School at the householders’ recent annual meeting. The grounds of complaint are that the meeting was advertised twice by the Education Board to be held at the school, whereas someone altered the venue to the Coronation Hall, as in former years.
