was previously chairman of the Wainui Road Board, also chairman of the Wainui Licensing Committee under the old Act; and was (1900) lately returned unopposed to a seat on the present Waitemata Licensing Committee. As a hard working member of the Council he has had the satisfaction of seeing full justice done to his district in the direction of reproductive works. Although Mr Hatfield has contested many elections for local bodies he has never yet been defeated. Mr Hatfield was born in Auckland in 1867, and has been engaged chiefly in the timber industry. He resides at the Waiwera Hot Springs, where he owns considerable property. Mr Hatfield was made a Justice of the Peace in 1894.
