Wellington by election drama ends in heated council room
In Wellington Aldermanic by elections were announced for Macquarie and Nanima wards after resignations. Lauer won Macquarie by walk over. Nanima contest between Siggins and Brown persisted after McCormick and Whittle withdrew. The meeting deteriorated into acrimony with rate arrears, objections to Lauer, and threats of action. The Mayor suspended proceedings amid insults and a chaotic scene, described by the report as one of the most disgraceful municipal episodes in Wellington.
