“Where’s That Councillor” At the March meeting of the Coromandel County Council Cr. T. V. Whittle asked the county clerk if his council correspondence might be addressed to him as Private T. V. Whittle instead of Cr. Whittle. He said he was becoming known in camp as “Councillor” and whenever roads and bridges became the topic of conversation it was a case of “Where’s That Councillor.” ■
