SHE RULES THE ROoST.


! The Woman Mayor Of a New Zealand TOwI
Calls Down Unruly Councillors.
Mrs. Yates, the mayor" of Onehun'
ga, in New Zealand, is troubled, appar-
emily, with one Or two unruly council.
ors, and has some difficulty in keeping
her team in order. AT recent meeting,
reported in the New Zealand Herald,
the proceedings are described as live
! ly." The question under discussion was
an outbreak of typhoid fever in the Dor
ough. At an early stage in the discus
sion Mr.. Tapp expressed the opinion
that certain correspondence had been
kept back.
The mayor, with much firmness, said:
81 expect an apology from you, Mr..
Tapp, for making that remark, and
: shall adopt similar course with any
other councillor SO expressing himself"
Mr.. Tapp denied accusing her worship
of suppressing correspondence. He
must have been misunderstood.
The mayor won't allow any coun-
cilor to insinuate that have kept back
correspondence.
Mr. Tapp-You quite misunderstood
me, Mrs Mayor.
Afterward Mr.. Tapp insisted upon
speaking, when he was ruled out OF
order. The mayor said: Il am the per-
son to dictate, not YOU
Mr.. Tapp-Oh! no you're not.
The mayor-Don't answer me back.
Mr.. jackson, having moved resolu-
ton, entered into lengthy dissertation
on sanitary matters in general. AS
Mrs. Yates has made regulation that
the mover of a resolution shall be al
lowed only five minutes to introduce
1t, she drew attention to the fact that
Mr.. jackson had spoken seven minutes
cir. Jackson laughed and said the coun-
ell had no power to make such an alb
aurd regulation, and in any case it
did not apply to any one replying. He
would insist upon his right of saying
what he had to say, and did not intend
being talked down.
The mayor.-Mr. jackson, are you de-
tying my ruling?
Mr.. Jackson-Yes, in this matter.
The mayor-Then order you down.
Mr.. jackson said he would not be
gagged.
The mayor-Then rule you out of
order, and if you don't obey we might
as well dissolve.
Mr.. Jackson-Well, shall certainly
not obey you. You yourself have wasted
most of the seven minutes and must
DOT interrupt me.
The mayor You have rambled away
from the subject.
MIR. Jackson did you forced me.
At this point the pickering ceased
and the business proceeded in quiet
ness. Nell bourne Argus.
