NAPIER’S MAYOR
WILL HE BE UNSEATED?
Napier, June I.sth
The position of the Mayor of Napier is at present in doubt in view of the passing for payment by the Council of an account to a company in which the Mayor (Mr J. "Vigor Brown) -is a shareholder.
The Council’s debt was incurred prior to the closing of nominations for the last election, but the account was passed at a meeting after the election at which Mr Brown presided.
The Mayor has since disposed of his shares in the company concerned and has paid them the amount of lie Council’s account, and the company, in turn, has made a refund to the Council. As it is not clear whether the,refund and disposal of shares will have tlic effect of making the Mayor’s position legal, Mr Brown vacated the chair at this week’s meeting of the Council, pending advice. The Borough solicitors are to be asked for an opinion and Mr Brown is also consulting his advisers.
