MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

MR. GREENSLADE AS MAYOR

LABOUR TICKET REJECTED

' The Municipal elections yesterday created a great deal of interest, especially as the day wore oh. The candidates were actively engaged in getting voters into the polling booths, and w,ere to be seen in little knots busily sorting out those who had hot yet voted with a view to getting the indifferent ones to swell the polL As the closing hour was reached the pressure on those in charge of the ballot papers got heavier, but the crush was well handled, and except fo'r a few impatient voters who would hot wait their turn, every one had his opportunity to mark his card. From the time the poll closed, seven o’clock, the Crowd began to gather and gradually grew to a fair proportion. The main item of interest was the Mayoral- election, and until the results of the first two booths in the Town Hall were posted, indicating that Mr Greenslade had then an advantage Of 35 votes, the speculation was that there would not be much difference between the two candidates. Messrs W. H. Parfitt and J. W. Greenslade. About 8.30, the first results of the Mayoral election weie posted, and after a lapse of three quarters of an hour, the full result showing a victory for-.Mr Greenslade was announced from the Town Hall steps, by the Town Clerk; Mr F. H. Denton, in his capacity as Returning Officer. The result of the Grey Power Board representation election was the next announced, when as forecasted by the “pickers” in the crowd, the defeat of Mr D. Tenherit one of the original Board, and a sitting member, was indicated.

The election of the Borough representatives to the Hospital Board was officially announced about 11 p.m., though previous to that it had been indicated who were too far in the lead to be defeated. The result was predicted by the “pickers” in the crowd, some of whom placed the candidates in the order in which they stood when the numbers went up.

The result of the Borough Council election was announced about 11.30. and again the speculation among those awaiting results proved correct even to giving Mr J. D. Wingham a “rough chance.” When the final results were posted those returned, and two of the defeated candidates, thanked the public for their support, and the crowd then gradually drifted homewards. MAYORAL ELECTION. The final returns, as announced about nine o’clock last night, were later slightly altered, as some ballot papers for the Mayoral election had been found in one of the other ballot, boxes, where they had been erroneous- . ly placed by the early morning voters ■ who were leaving by the train for • Reefton. The figures were as follow: — John Webber Greenslade .. 970 William Henry Parfitt .. .. 844 Informal 10 Majority for ( Mr Greenslade 126 As soon ,as the Town Clerk had .announced the result there were cries for Mr Gfeenslade,. and he received a hearty reception when he appeared on the TbWh Hail steps.*. Addressing the assemblage, lie said he was proud to stand before thein the Mayor for Greyfeouth. He wished to thank them I for their confidence in him as indicated at the ballot box, and accepted his election as evidence that the ratepayers were satisfied with his past efforts. He felt proud of the honour they had done him and glad to feel that he .could still give them his services and do the right thing for the Borotigh. • It ha-t been a keen fight,but he and Mr Parfitt had fought the issue out in a friendly spirit, and he hoped they would continue to be the good friends they had always been in the past After four years as Deputy Mayor he thought it was time he had a move up. and so decided to contest • the Mayoralty. Throughout the contest there had been no dirty work, he wished to thank Mr Parfitt for the good spirit which had prevailed throughout the electioneering . period. As Mayor, Mr Parfitt, had done good ivork for the Borough, and had been well supported by his good wife. In his new office as their Mayor, the first thing he intended to do would bo to (a yoibb, “Gbt a Wife”) look into the various promises that had been mhde by thfe oahdfdateS, and see which bf them could be carried out without the necessity for increasing the rates. He referred to rhe proposals for procuring a stone crusher add gradei\ and to the proposed sewerage scheme and additions to the water supply. He would say ■straight away that the sewerage scheme would have to be paid for by a loan, and that would mean an increase in the rates. He would remind them again, that if the Borough did not face the question, the Health Department would, and it was better for the local body to look after its own work, than let a Government Department make them do it. However, it would be for the ratepayers to decide. He hoped they would vote for the. sewerage loan when the time came. He hoped he would fill the Mayoral chair with honour to • the burgesses and credit to himself. (Applause.) The retiring May dr, Mr W. H. Parfitt. followed Mr Greenslade, and said he whhed to congratulate his successor, Mr Greenslade on his win. If at any time he could be of service to him in his official capacity, he Would be glad to. The election had been cleanly fought, and it was for .the latepayers to say whom they wished to be their Mayor. He always had the interests of Greymouth at heart, and would continue to have, and perhaps, later on, he would again have a try for the Mayoral chair. Throughout the election, all had contested cleanly, whether candidates for the Borough Council, Power Board, or Hospital Board. He wished tb express his thanks to Mr Denton, the Town Clerk, and the other members of the staff for their courtesy and assistance while he was Mayor. He would always do ' his best for Greymouth, and tb helf> the Mayor. He did hot want any bitterness as an aftermath tb the e!ec- ‘ tion, personally he Whs a sport, and felt sure that he ahd Mf Greenslade would remain the friends they had

always been. He then called for cheers for “His Worship thd Mayor.” Mr Greenslade called for three cheers for Mr Parfitt, which were all lustily given, after Which Messrs Greenslade and Parfitt shook hands. BOROUGH COUNCIL. The returns for the Be rough Council showed that all the former members of the Council had been re-elected and solidly supported. Mr T. B. Baty, who missed nomination for, tire last term, was second oh .the poll to Mr O’Brien, Messrs S. B. White, affil D. M. Robertson, two new men., secured seats. Details qf the polling were: —

Baty O’Brien 961, McGinley, 870,' Kitchingham 834, Wingham 516. Even though the hour at which the poll was announced was late, there were still a number waiting for the final figures, and to see how their candidates had fated. Mr O’Brien, in returning thanks, said he was proud to be at'the head of the poll. He wished also to thank them for returning his colleagues to the Council, and Mrs O’Brien to the Hospital Board. He would act in the future as he had done In the past, and work for the whole of the citizens of Greymouth, and see that they got the best value possible for the money that Was spent, and at the same time, not be overtaxed. The new Mayor was a regular old Conservative, and he was a Labour man. ~ The combination would be a good one, and he would do all he could to be a worthy second to the Mayor. They had worked for the common interest of the people in the past, and would continue to carry out that policy in the future. He thanked them for re-electing him to the Power Board, and Would do his best to conserve the interests of the community there.

Mr Baty said he considered it a high honour to be returned so near the top of the poll- especially after he had been an absentee for a term. They could rely on his doing his very best for the advancement of the Borough of Greymouth. ... . Messrs R. J. Williams, J, McGinley. F. A. Kitchingham, J. B. Kent and G.

The Municipal elections were carried out very quietly, there being no unto Ward incidents. The polling was fairly heavy.

Mr Holland, leader of the Labour Party, interviewed, regarding the Mayoral elections, said the general □pinion had been that Mr Arche; could not win in Christchurch in f. straight-out contest. Mr Arehor’s mffierise majority was a tribute to the ability with which he had filled the posl’tioh of Mayor, and his complete afisfvef to the people who were responsible for the personal attacks against Archer. The excellent Labour vote at Whangarei indicated the change in public opinion, which was taking place. He regretted Mr Bloddwbrth’s defeat at Auckland, because he was undoubtedly the best member of the last Couficil. Mr Chapman’s defeat at Wellington was equally to be regretted, but the ver}’ large vote Was significant. At Wanganui, Mr Bogers defeated a very strong opponent in Mr Hope Gibbons, and the vote was a recognition of-services Mr Rogers had rendered to the cojnniunity. „He wa§ sure that; Mr - Rogers would make a capable Mayor.
