TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—I find that it is still persistently asserted in the town that I was asked to act as chairman at Mr Greenslade's meeting on Friday last and that I failed to keep my appointment. As it is not my practice to act in this discourteous manner under any circumstances, I wish to state most emphatically that though expecting in virtue of my position as chairman of the local Board to be invited to preside on the occasion in question, I was not asked by anyone to do so.

Every other district whose application “ was made after the prescribed date ” is being refused, and rightly so. —I am, etc., VOTER.
