This term of three years will make nearly 42 years of continuous service given to the borough, and former town district, by Sir. 'Card. Mr. Card has always been returned unopposed since he was first nominated as Mayor by Commissioners A. C. Holms (then treasurer to the town board), and M. B. Tait, both of whom are still active in public affairs. Mr. Holms, now of Waipukurau, was the founder of the borough, and later treasurer, also doputy-Mayor, Miss H. Card, the Mayoress, and sister o: the Mayor, has just been elected to represent Fcathcrston and Martinborough on the Wairarapu Hospital Board.
