AUCKLAND CITY COUNCIL AND AUDITOR. (BT TELEGRAPH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION,) , AUCKLAND, This Day. The action of the Auditor-General in refusing to pass accounts for £200 in excess of the unauthorised expenditure allowed by law was discussed by the Auckland City Council. The principal items Were connected with a farewell to one Governor and the reception of another, and the opening of the Town Hall. Councillors who voted for spending the money are liable to refund £15 14s 3d each. Councillor Nerheny said he would defy the Auditor, and would willingly go to gaol rather than pay. The council resolved to ask Parliament to legalise the expenditure of the amount disbursed.
