MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

RESULT OF OFFICIAL RECOUNT. NO MATERIAL CHANGES. The official recount in respect of the recent municipal elections in Dunedin has been completed by the town clerk (Mr G. A. Lewin) and his staff. The revised figures in the mayoralty contest and those for candidates for seats on the City Council are given below. Mr R. S. Black’s majority has been increased from 909 to 920. In the list of unsuccessful candidates for the City Council a slight re-shuffiing has taken place low down in the list, but no alterations have to be made as far as the first 12 are concerned.

COUNT OF-VOTES STILL INCOMPLETE. (Pee United. Pe'ess Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, May C. The count of votes under the ■ proportional representation system for the election of the City Council is still uncompleted, but should be finished to-morrow. At present eight councillors have been elected—five Citizens’ Association representatives and three Labourites, but. the distribution of the .surpluses and of the votes of the eliminated candidates will probably make the council consist of eight Citizens’ Association members and seven Labour members, with Dr Thacker as the Independent, holding with the Mayor, the balance of power.
