NAPIER HARBOUR BOARD

FULL LIST OF N 0M1N ATIONS. STARTERS READY FOR THE l'OLLS. THE WAIPAWA BOMBSHELL. Now that- all nominalions for the twelve seats 011 the Napier Harbour Board have closed. iL is possible to ecunpile a complete list of tlie "starters" as they have lined up ready lor polling day. After the unmiuations cinsed yesterday it appeared tbat only iu one case, tliat of tlie Waipukurau Borough seat, gained by Mr E. A. Goodger, tbe Breakwater supporter, woulcl no election be necessary, but now it seems that Mr A. E. Jull will also not find it necessary to go to tbe poll as far as the Waipawa County seat is eoncerned. Certainly one of tbe liiggest bombshells tliat has lieon loosed in local body politics for many a day cvas tbe last minnte nomiiiation of 51 r J. Vigor Brown . Napior's 5layor as a contestant for tlie AYaipawu County clistrict seat. iu opposition to tbe board's present eliairnian, 51r A. E. Jull. The news of 51 r Brown' s iiomination spread -like wilclfire in 5Vaipawa and created a great deal of interest throughout tlie distriet. Last evening, however, it was learned tbat 5lr Brown's nomination bad not been accepted b- the returntng officer. Tlie position is an interesting oue because 51r Eustace Lune s nomination has been ac-eeiited foi Napier under a similar set of circumstanccs. , . . r Tbe first of the two elections, for thc horougli seats will he held on May 1, when three representatives of the Napier Borough and two of tlie Hastings Borough will be electecl.
