“BOMBSHELL’ FOR MEETING
FEDERATION SCHEME DEFERRED.
By Telegraph—Press Association.
Dunedin, Last Night.. A meeting of representatives of agricultural and pastoral societies in the south was held to-day to take steps towards the formation of a South Island federation., A preliminary meeting was held last June and progress was expected to be made to-day. What wafi described as a bombshell, however, was created by the. receipt of a letter from the Royal Agricultural Society in which it was stated that the society was being reorganised, and this would involve the creation of five separate districts mid an annual conference for New Zealand at Wellington. Such reorganisation would involve duplication if the formation of a federation were gone on with, and in the circumstances the meeting decided to go no further with the proposal until more detailed information was available.
