Voting a Mayor's Salary. —lt Las bean decided by the Wellington Borough Council to give its mayor a sa’ary of L2OO a year, the original proposal that bo should have L3OO being amended. From the discussion on the motion, it seems his Worship looks after the reclaimed land, the wharf, a bonded store, the streets, and an “ enormous quantity of other work,” as well as having to reply to corrcs- ondei.ee. When an accident, as the Hood at Grcyraouth or a fire at Carter ton, occurs, the mayor is the first person refered to bo the sufferers, he is bound to sec these people assisted, ‘ ‘ and whether it was for the death of a horse or the burial of a child, the mayor had to jnit his hand in his pocket for relief.” Such were some of the chief arguments in support of the motion. One councillor thought that from the prices the reclaimed land and wharf wore fetching the Council could afford L3OO. The amended motion was carried by five votes to two, bis Worship refiiring while the discussion was going on. Advertisements received too late for Classin cation.
