MAORI COUNCILS.
Parliament has passed an amendment to the Maori Council Act 1900 that affects Maori Councils. It provides that all present members are to stand down. The Government is henceforth to choose the members for each Maori Council with one representing the Government and seven Maori. This will appear in the Gazette and you will find further explanations there.
