A MAYORAL DEFEAT.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir —After the crushing defeat sustained by the mayor in regard to unimproved taxation, ho must realise that he no longer has the confidence of electors. The obvious thing for the mayor to do is to resign. If he did this and stood again, his aefeat would he even more overwhelming than on the present occasion. _ The most sigmMeant fact' in connection with the polling is that at Moriiington, where the mayor is best known, one ot the heaviest votes against the proposal he espoused was recorded. Of course, His Worship may have become of a more economical frame ot mind now, am. not wish to put the ratepayers to the expense of another poll. I can assure him that many ratepayers would not grudge an outlay for the purpose I have indicated.—l am, etc., Open-eyed. September 12.
