MUNICIPAL “PICKINGS."
An amendment of the law which guards against municipal “pickings” will be suggested by Councillor Atkinson at the meeting of the Wellington City Council on Thursday night in terms of the following motion: —“(x) That in the opinion of this council paragraph n of Section 42 of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1908, relating to the disqualification of councillors, should be amended so that the exception therein contained will read as follows : 1 Other than as a shareholder in an incorporated company which contains more than 20 members, and is not a private company, and of which such person is not a director or the general manager, or in an association or partnership consisting of more than twenty members. (2) That pending such alteration in the law, this council should decline to accept any tender from any company in which a councillor is a shareholder, and which does not come within the exception above set out.’ ’’
