LOCAL BODY VACANCY
Complicated Position By Telegrapn—Press Association DUNEDIN, August 20 A complicated position has arisen in respect to the affairs of the St. Hilda Borough Council as a result of a member being disqualified to sit because he had accepted a small honorarium for work done on behalf of the bor ough. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of a new member, this being done in accordance with the Act by resolution of the council. The resolu tion was opposed by the Mayor and three other councillors, who apparently felt that the disqualified member should have an opportunity of being reappointed since the council as a whole was involved in his resignation. A special meeting to-night discussed the matter, and after statements had been made by the Mayor, Mr J. Beattie, and the dissenting council loro, outlining their attitude to the new appointment, they handed in their resignations and left the meeting.
