Mr. Joseph Cochrane Macky

Mr. Joseph Cochrane Macky, who has held a seat on the Auckland Harbour Board since 1898, as representative of the Borough of Devonport, was born in Auckland in 1855, educated at the local High School, and gained his early experience in the soft goods trade with Messrs T. H. Hall and Co. Subsequently he was for about twelve years with Messrs Archibald Clark and Sons. In 1882 Mr. Macky became one of the founders of the well known firm of Macky, Logan, Steen and Co., and is still closely identified with it. He became a councillor of the Borough of Devonport in 1892, and Mayor in 1896, and was re-elected Mayor successively in 1897–1898 and 1899, but retired at the close of his fourth consecutive term at the end of 1900.
