County Councils and Harbour Boards Reforms Debated

Wellington August 20 A Press Association report from the Conference discusses Harbour and Hospital matters. A motion to revert to local-body selection for Harbour Board members was carried, noting the present system is costly and unfair to country districts. A remit to charge hospital and charitable aid costs to Consolidated Revenues was rejected. The Conference proposed separate representation for Hospital and Harbour Boards, with limited representation where impractical. A subsidy plan of 5s in the £ on all rates up to a cap was recommended and backed, along with creating a board to divide the Dominion into districts. The committee urged grants for road needs and settler access, and the full report was adopted.
