MAYOR AND COUNCIL
To tho Editor “N.Z. Times.” Six, —1 noticed tho Mayor states that ho has neyer had the confidence of tho majority of tho council, and I am surprised at that statement, because tho council ■ has always been loyal to the Mayor. Even at tho last meeting of tho reserves committee the chairman consulted his Worship regarding the clause ■of tho report that he ruled out of order, and wo decided to present it to tho council in exactly the manner sug tested by himself, so that there would o' no hitch, and it came as a great surprise to us when ho took exception to it. Councillors are busy men, end it is extremely annoying to receive treatment like that, especially uheu they give up so much time to committee work; and it is also foolish to tamper with their patience. This can easily be seen when one considers that this same clause has been sent before them
Llrcady on four occasions. Their jouco .became exhausted. As for the disloyalty of the council, I cannot call to mind one instance when the council .ias not supported its Mayor on any question of policy.—l am, etc., l. McKenzie. Makirikiri, February 2lst,
