A WANGANUI SQUABBLE
—— COUNCILLORS ASKED TO RESIGN. \ By Telegraph—Press 'Association. ) Wanganui, Last Night. I A meeting unique in thb history of Wanganui was held this evening, when a very large crowd of men assembled in the Druids' Hall. The meeting was a further development upon the quarrel between members of the Borough Council and the Mayor, whereby the Mayor resigned rather than give his casting vote on his own motion to dismiss the engineer. The meeting was decidedly in sympathy with the Mayor, and found vent in demanding the resignation of three councillors who were alleged to have prompted the Mayor in his action, arid ' then turned back on him. The Mayor's actions were approved, and it was hoped he would allow himself to be nominated again. It is considered that the meeting's demands will not clear the nir at all, for it is probable that unless the whole Council resign the three requested will not do so. The Council is holding a special meeting on Monday for the purpose of electing a Mayor for the remainder of the term.
