BOWLING COUNCIL
RECONSTITUTION FAVOURED GREATER REPRESENTATION FOR NORTH ISLAND (P.A.) WELLINGTON, May 23. A decision that a letter be sent to the secretary of the New Zealand Bowling Council, advising that the Wellington . Bowling Centre was in favour of the constitution of the council being amended, was reached at a meeting of the centre last night. The suggestion is that the constitution be amended to provide for each centre being represented on the council by one delegate, with the exception of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin, which should be entitled to two delegates, each delegate to have one vote. Mr W. Gilbert said that when the bowling associations of the two islands amalgamated in 1913 it was decided that each island would be represented by seven councillors. The number of bowlers in the North Island had almost doubled that in the South. The North Island had every right to have more councillors than the Sputh. There had to be a change, he said. It was a ridiculous state of affairs when bowlers in Wellington were compelled to vote a man to the council who might come from North Auckland and about whom the Wellington men knew very little, if anything
