TIMARU MAYORALTY ABSENTEE’S POSITION (P.A.) TIMARU, this day The position of the Mayoralty ol Timaru has been further complicated by the opinion of the borough solicitors, who state that the Mayor has already lost his seat. In view of this opinion and a confidential opinion forwarded to the council recently by the Municipal Association concerning another local body, the Timaru Borough Council last night decided to ask the member of Parliament for Timaru to secure the opinion of the Crown Law Office on the position. The Mayor, Major W. G. Tweedy, who is Red Cross Commissioner overseas, was granted six months’ leave, but on its expiry the council declined to grant an extension.
