r BY TKLKIirui'II. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Hastings, Friday. The Hayings Borough Council discussed a letter from the Auditor-General which asked why Mr. Wade, a member of the council,-who is a plumber by trade, should not be disqualified from acting on the council, he having done sanitary work and received payments, totalling ' £267 advanced by the council to applicants for loans for house connections with the sewer. The, Mayor stated that the borough solicitor and Mr. Martin, solicitor to the Municipal Corporations Association, held that no breach of the Municipal Corporation Act of 1908 had occurred, and that Mr. Wade was perfectly in order in undertaking and receiving payment for the work.
