MAORIS BECOME DEPUTY-MAYORS Three Maoris have been appointed deputy-mayors of borough councils in the Horowhenua district, following the recent local body elections. One member of the Maori race contested elections at Levin, Shannon and Otaki. A striking tribute was paid to them when each was returned with more votes than any other candidate, and each has since been appointed deputy-mayor. At Levin, the honour went to Mr Nepia Winiata, who is also the first. Maori ever to be elected to the council. At Shannon, Mr Charles Hill, and at Otaki, Mr Hema Hakaraia, have had the same success.
