STILL AT VARIANCE
BOROUGH COUNCILLORS
v. MAYOR
Dominion Special.
Dunedin, November 23.
The Port Chalmers councillors and their Mavor are still- at loggerheads over the alteration of a minute. The councillors say the alteration was unauthorised, and the Mayor states that thev were all agreeable to it excepting one” councillor, who was not present. There, was another exciting council meeting last night. When the eight councillors who had voted against the Mavor at a previous meeting were present. The two councillors who had previously supported him were absent last night and consequently the Mayor was singlehanded in a clash of assertions which clearly showed that the councillors considered his position was weaker than theirs. Hostilities were suspended at an earlier hour than at the previous meeting, but peace is said to be still far off—as far as the next municipal elections perhaps.
