EMPLOYING EX-SOLDIERS.
DISCONTENT IN GORE. [BY TEIJXJBAPH.I'EESS ASSOCIATION^ GORE, Friday. The Gore Borough Council recently appointed a local resident as town clerk from applicants who included several returned soldiers with municipal appointments. The Now Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association was incensed, and wrote to individual councillors inquiring how they voted. Several who were favourable to the soldier candidates replied, but the majority declined to disclose their voting, which was taken in committee. The association therefore passed a vote of censure on the council, and a motion to the effect " that councillors, being servants of the public, should conduct business in open council."
