The Minister for Internal Affairs has informed Mr J. A. Young, M.P., that after giving the matter full consideration he is not prepared to advise the Government to bring the Counties Act into operation tin the County of West Taupo, and that he does not think it is desirable, at all events at present, to allow the boundaries of the county to be altered. There is no local government in the County of West Taupo, and the only rate levied there is the hospital rate, levied by the Waikato Hospital Board. The Waipa County Council has recommended that the Counties Act should be brought into force in West Taupo, but the majority of the settlers comprising the scattered population have objected to this being done until the settlement of the country is further advanced. Whilst some of the settlers in the north-west corner of the county have expressed a desire to be' included in the Waipa County, the majority of the other settlers in the county have objected to any such division.

Memorial services are to be held in all the churches of the Auckland Anglican diocese on Sunday, August 8, in honor of those who shall have fallen at the front up to that date.

A number of churches had already held memorial services to individual soldiers, but those arranged for the second Sunday in next month would be of a general nature. Dr. Averill has issued some special forms of service for use on the occasion referred to, and the various clergy will base their services upon them.
