There was no contest for the Mayoralty, the retiring Mayor, Mr G. W. Bennett, did not seek re-election, and Mr George Young was returned unopposed. HALF-HOLI DA Y QUESTION. Very little interest was taken in the poll on the half-holiday question owing to the fact that Inglewood was the only town in Taranaki to hold a poll on the subject, and it was, therefore, improbable that the burgesses would feel inclined to alter the half holiday.
