entitled to vote at the election of insurance companies’
representatives on the Fire Boards, and no insurance com-
pany whose name does not appear on the said roll shall be
qualified to vote at any election.

12. In the case of fire districts outside the four Cities
    of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin the
    election of members shall take place in the one of the above-
    mentioned cities in which the office of the Fire Under-
    writers’ Association having jurisdiction over such fire
    district is located.

13. For the elections to be held in the year 1907 each
    company carrying on business in any fire district shall be
    entitled to one vote for each member to be elected to the
    Board of that district, but thereafter each person voting on
    behalf of any company at any election of any Fire Board
    shall be entitled to vote in accordance with the following
    scale:—

If the company on behalf of which he is voting has in
accordance with the next following clause returned
for the year previous to the election a premium
revenue of less than £3,000, one vote for each member
to be elected.

If £3,000 but less than £6,000, two votes for each
member to be elected.

If £6,000 but less than £9,000, three votes for each
member to be elected.

If £9,000 and upwards, four votes for each member to
be elected.

14. After the year 1907 every company shall, before the
    30th day of April in each year, furnish to the Secretary of
    the Council of Fire Underwriters’ Associations of New
    Zealand a statement of the amount of its gross revenue, less
    reinsurances, in each fire district, as per section 13 of the
    Act. Such information shall be deemed strictly confidential
    by him, and shall be destroyed after he has notified the
    various Returning Officers of the several fire districts of the
    number of votes each company is entitled to. The Return-
    ing Officers shall issue at each election voting-papers accord-
    ingly to the persons so entitled to vote on behalf of the
    companies:

Provided that if a company decide not to send in such
return, or neglect to do so, such company shall nevertheless
be entitled to one vote for each person to be elected for any
fire district in which the company is carrying on business.

15. The same person may be elected as a member of two
    or more different Fire Boards.

16. These rules may be altered from time to time, but
    only at a meeting of duly authorised representatives of the
    insurance companies, called together by the Minister as and
    when he shall think fit. At such a meeting each such re-
    presentative shall have one vote in respect of each company
    represented by him. Any amendments of these rules shall
    be subject to the approval of the Governor in manner pro-
    vided by section 4 of the Act.
