The use of schools as polling booths was discussed at a meeting of the Auckland Education Board, when permission was sought by a teacher to act as deputy-returning officer at the coming general election, if the school were used as a polling booth. The chairman, Mr T. U. Wells, said it was against the policy of the hoard to grant the use of school buildings for polling, although they could be taken for the purpose. He considered they should communicate with the chief electoral office, urging that school's should he used for pollimr only in an emergency. Shelter sheds were in many cases quite sufficient. It's a pleasure to use POLIFLOR for floors and furniture. G’OLIFLOR cleans, polishes, and Is antiseptic.”
