No nomination has yet been received for the Mayoralty, though that of the present Mayor (Mr W. A. Rowse) is fairly certain. At noon to-day the only nominations for positions on the council were those of three of the present councillors: Messrs F. E. Martyn, R. R. Gillanders and J. A. Ivory. Mr T. J. Stokes has been nominated for the Riccarton Borough Council.
