SIXTY-SEVEN CANDIDATES

* Record City Nominations

NEW LIST AT NEWMARKET

MR. DONALDSON UNOPPOSED

SIXTY-SEVEN candidates have been nominated to fill 21 vacancies on the Auckland City Council. This creates a fresh record for Auckland City, and indicates the probability of another heavy percentage of invalid votes on May 1. Last election there were 61 candidates. Four candidates for the Mayoralty have been nominated. Twenty-seven nominations came in this morning, one two minutes before closing time. There will be 48 pollingbooths with about 500 clerks.

A deputation waited on Mr. W. Bongard, the present Mayor, who had stated he was retiring, and asked him to reconsider his decision. Mr. Bonnard agreed to accept nomination, but it is probable there will still be an election, as Mr. J. Whiteside, president of the Ratepayers’ Association, is also a candidate.
