Bulls, where the Club’s course is, and Marten would never amalgamate, as suggested by the Commission, those towns having nothing in common. The Club had recently spent £B6OO on land and buildings. The Minister, in reply, said that the matter would lie considered by tlie Cabinet. If ft was decided that the question of permits was to be reviewed, there could be no doubt that the case of tho Rangitikei Club must be entitled to very careful consideration.
