LOCAL GOVERNMENT
AMALGAMATION BIEL. HEARING OP EVIDENCE. s ; WELLINGTON, Tuesday. In view of the Prime Minister’s intention to move the adjournment of Parliament at the end of this week, it is unlikely that the special committee on the Local Government Amalgamation Bill will meet again this year. The Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) said to-day there were still some eighty local bodies and others who had intimated a desire to place their views on the measure befor the committee. Though the number of witnesses may be reduced by some classes of local body combining to submit their evidence through one organisation, it was clear the committee would have a busy time when Parliament met after the recess. Some local bodies, probably having in view local circumstances, preferred to place their opinions before the committee directly through a personal representative; others had adopted the expedient of sending a written statement to the committee. —(P.A.)
