FROM £5 TO £lO,OOO

WHAT CORPORATIONS PAY. The Lord Mayor ot London, who receives a salary of £lO,OOO and the Mansion House as a residence, is the highest-paid mayoral official in Britain; the Lord'Mayors of Birmingham, Cardiff, liverpool, Leeds, and Manchester receiving £2OOO a year. At York there is no salary, but there is a furnished Mansion House, tuel, light, and service. The Mayor of Wandsworth receives £5OO, but none of the other

London mayors is paid more than £4OO. This is so little in comparison with the expenses involved that some London boroughs are finding it difficult to obtain local citizens who are in a position to undertake the financial burden entailed by the office.
