A MISUNDERSTANDING
MAYOR AND INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE REPORT TO BE CONSIDERED NEXT WEEK When the report of the Departs mental Investigation Committee was reached at last night’s meeting of the City Council, Councillor G. Mitchell (chairman of the committee) said that the members of the committee considered the Mayor’s action, in giving notice of motion that applications should be invited in Great Britan, Australia, and New Zealand for the position of city engineer for Wellington, was tantamount to a motion of want of confidence in tlie committee. The Mayor (Mr. R. A. Wright) said that he had no such intention in giving bis notice of motion. He was not aware what was in the committee’s report. A councillor: Were you not invited to give evidence before the committee The Mayor: No. Councillor Mitchell accepted the Mayor’s explanation. Several councillors had been invited to. attend the deliberations of the Investigation Committee, and had done so, but he must 'plead guilty to an oversight in so far that no invitation had been extended to tho Mayor to attend. It was decided to defer consideration of the report of the investigation Committee until Thursday evening •next, also to hold over the Mayor’s notice of motion in the meantime.
