Tivo Mayors Retain Office: 1 Defeated

Of three suburban mayors whose re-election was contested on Saturday, two retained office and one was defeated.

Mr. H. J. Moore (Port Adelaide) and Mr. A. E. D. Grivell (Payneham) were re-elected and Mr W. J. White (Marion) was defeated. The new mayor of Marion is Mr. P. W. Tippins, who was a member of the council some years ago. Four new aldermanic seats at Campbelltown were ailed by former councillors M. J. Daly, E. J. Harris, A. E. Marchant and E. R. Wadmore. Of these, Alderman Daly, tvho is 81, has given longest service to the council and is i former mayor. New City Councillor Mr. W. R. Nicholls, accountant, of North Adelaide, is the only new meinber of Adelaide City Council. It was the first time that Mr. Nicholls had been nominated for a City Council seat. He defeated Mr. R. J. Pelham, of Myrtle Bank,, in a straight fight for the vacancy in Gawler ward. Mr. J. C. Steele, who was elected councillor for Goodwood Ward, Unley, is a master at Prince Alfred College. In several districts the poll was the heaviest recorded Lor years. Moving a vote of thanks to Adelaide City Council's returning officer (Alderman R. Walker), Alderman T. H. Grundy said the present financial relationship between Federal, State and local Govern- ? ment authorities was most unsatisfactory. Each year Commonwealth and State Governments were acquiring more City properties and buildings which were not rateable. A convention should be held between the various Government authorities to decide on an equitable sharing of revenue.
