It is worthy of remark that in Te Aro, where naturally, the polling was strongest, there was only one vote against the proposal, there being 182 in favor of it. In Thorndon very fe v votes were recorded, and the result, as will lie s;en from the appended table, was sixty-six for and fifty-four 5 against the proposed reclamation; but in no other ward was the polling s» even.
