TOO SMALL.
THE MOHAKA COUNTY.
BILL THROWN OUT
(From our Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Oct. 23.
The Mohaka County Bill was thrown out this morning, at the instance of Sir J. Carroll, who said that the area of the proposed new county was too small, and its rating capacity was very weak. It lay between two large counties, and if the proposal had been to add it to the Hawke’s Bay County, there would have been some reason in it. He moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. This was carried on the voices.
Mr. Brown, who introduced the Bill, was not in his place, the motion for the second reading being moved by another member.
