HOWLED DOWN.
THE HON G. FOWLDS AT WELLINGTON. The other night, after the lecture on slums by Mr. C. C. Reade, Mr. A H. Hindmarsh, when moving a vote of thanks to- the lecturer, said that more powers for local bodies were needed. “Instead of the Government giving us more powers, they are taking the powers we have,” said Mr. Hindmarsh. The Hon. G. Fowlds: “No, no.” - Mr. Hindmarsh : “The local bodies must get more powers, and I hope you will back us up.” Tlie audience: “We will.” Mr. Hindmarsh: “The City Council is helpless i nder the present legislation to deal with those insanitary houses.” The Hon. G. Fowlds: “The only reason why the Government comes it at all is because the local bodies have not exercised their powers at all.” •Cries of: “Rot! Rot! Nonsense! Rubbiisli! What is the matter with you? S-it down!” The rest of Mr Fowld’s remarks were lost in the uproar.
