HALF-HOLIDAY QUESTION.
The Eltham Borough Council, act- # ing on the advice of its solicitors, has decided that the petition to take a poll on the half-holiday question is informal. It is understood that application will be made- to the Supreme Court for a writ 'of mandamus to compel the Council to grant a poll on the question of the half-holiday. The Hawera Town Clerk has received legal advice that the petition presented to the Hawera Borough Council asking that a poll of the electors be taken on the half-holiday question as valid. As returning officer, he, according to the Star, will now make the necessaryarrangements 'for taking the poll in conjunction with the municipal elections. As far as is known at present, Hawera will be the only municipality in Taranaki to take a vote of the electors on the question.
