AUCKLAND.
This day.
James Mackay and Brissenden have arrived in Auckland to press separate. claims on Patetere, resting on alleged promises on the part of the Government that if the Government did not complete the purchase, the first offer would be made to them. Mackay says he offered Dr Pollen a refund of Government advances and 50,000 acres for a special settlement if the Government would retire from Patetere in his favor. I McKenzie, Chairman of the Harbor Board, was rejected by the City electors yesterday, on the big dock question. He was nominated to represent the Parnell Borough Council, on giving his assurance that he would support the construction of the dock, if it was practicable, without further wharfage taxation. The, officers under the compulsory education clauses report only nine children hi the City, of school age, not attending school. The Property Tax Board of Eeviewers decided that the Building Society must pay a tax on their cash value of shares, less £500 exemption.
