LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
THE BILL AGAIN CONDEMNED.
Per Pi'iss Association. WAIROA, May 11, A largely attended meeting of the local bodies of the Wairoa district last night, strongly condemned the Local Government Bill as regards county councils. At the meeting of the Borough Council and Hospital Board resolutions were passed condemning it for its centralising tendencies. It is claimed that Wairoa in its isolation demands special consideration. The Mayor of Wairoa was elected a delegate and the following motion proposed (but not put, the delegate elect stating that he would adopt the line proposed): That the Government be recommended, if it desires to simplify local government, it adopt charitable aid districts as granted, and abolish all road boards, charitable aid and hospital boards, domain - and cemetery boards, town, drainage and river boards and delegate tbeir powers and duties to the councils and boroughs.
