The Chamber of Commerce Nominee in the Legislative Council

On Saturday-next the Chaniber of Commerce' will be called upon to nominate a member for appointment as a member of the Legislative' Council, Mr: T. H.. Whitehead's term of office expiring on the 19th instant.' I believe he wil be re-nominated: without opposition.

'The Chairman will probably propose his: re-nomination, which will be seconded and carried. Mr, Whitehead's services to the Chamber have been substantial and: satisfactory, and if all the members have not always agreed with him in' methods of procedure, they have been ready to recognise and acclaim his sturdy championship of public rights. Even if other candidate had come out he would no chance now the existing member is in possession and has so excellent a record of good service rendered.
