E. Lark, Labour candidate, in fifth place in the Auckland City list, while Mr J. A. C. Allum, the present chairman, is in sixth place. The city is entitled to return six members in a board of ten. The Hon. T. Bloodworth, M.L.C., who was fifth in the provisional count, has dropped from fifth to seventh place, seven votes behind Mr Allum.
