New Election System in Fiji

From Our Own Correspondent.

SUVA, April 10. r T"HE new Letters Patent of the Colony * have been published.

They divide the European electorate into three divisions, instead of five., as formerly.

European and Indian representatives will now be elected on separate rolls for the same divisions. They will each have three elected members and two to be nominated by the Governor, while Fijians will have five members selected out of seven to ten candidates, elected by the Great Council of Chiefs.

An election will take place as soon as the new rolls are complete.
