SEAT IN DANGER
CHAIRMAN OF TRANSPORT BOARD By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, May 14. Although the count of votes cast for the candidates for the various Municipal bodies has so far not resulted in any displacements, there may be an upset when the Transport Board count is completed. Of six members originally apparently elected for the City constituency, Mr J. A. C. Allum was the lowest, with 31,468 votes. Next to him came Mr P. E. Lark, with 11,103. There appears at the moment a strong possibility that Mr Lark will displace Mr Allum. However, owing to the difficulties of the count the final result may not be known for several days. Mr Allum has been chairman of the Board since its inception in 1928, and before that he *vas chairman of the City Council’s Tramways Committee. A great deal of his time for many years has been given to transport matters, in which he is a leading authority. Mr Lark is president of the National Union of the Unemployed. If Mr Lark Is elected. Labour will have seven members of a Board of 10.
