The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

[introduction]

The civic government of Auckland has had numerous ups and downs, and some of the ablest men of the city have taken part in its administration. Counting the fourteen gentlemen who were members of the first Council in 1851, and excluding the Mayors elected since 1875, and also the eighteen members of the present Council, ninety-five citizens of Auckland have served on the City Council. The names suggest many associations connected not only with Auckland but the colony, and show that Aucklanders cannot say that the able and prominent men amongst them have been indifferent to the proper administration of the city's affairs.
