Tasker, and T. J. Rodgers. In addition to these, five of the present councillors (Messrs. E. J. Armstrong, H. Haydou, F. Mowlem, W. M'Kenzie, and W. Stubbs) will be candidates, while Messrs. A. Buchanan, R. Edwards, and J. Robertson havo also announced themselves, and several others havo been spoken of as likely to, come out. The contest will probably be a keen one, but the general impression at present is that most of the old councillors standing will be re-elected. Numbers of Maoris passed through here yesterday, en route for Papawai, where a great assemblage is gathering for the unveiling of the monument to the lateTamahau Mahupuku. ' Between six and seven hundred new names were placed on tho municipal roll up to the time of closing last evening. Largo numbers, however, did not trouble to enrol, and tho list will consequently not ba anything like a complete one.

Park on electric trams; Messrs. R. S. Abraham and A. H. Wylde on water supply; and Mr. W. L. Fitzherbert on baths and library.
