In 1925, elections were held for the Mayor of Auckland plus other local government positions including twenty-one city councillors. The polling was conducted using the standard first-past-the-post electoral method. Background As part of the elections, ratepayers voted on loan schemes to the value of £ NZ750,000, the largest of which (£ NZ340,000) was for the proposed Auckland Civic Centre. The Auckland Civic Centre was supported by the outgoing mayor and those city councillors who stood for re-election, plus George Baildon who won the mayoralty. Baildon's opponent, Harold Schmidt, was an opponent of the loan. The voters were happy to support those candidates who supported the scheme but they did not approve the loan and the scheme did not go ahead.Stacpoole John 3g25 Gunson, James Henry 8 February 2022 John StacpooleMunicipal elections https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZH19250501.2.120 7 February 2022 The New Zealand Herald LXII 19006 1 May 1925 11 Mayoralty results 1925 Auckland mayoral electionhttps://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/ODT19250501.2.77 Local Body Elections Otago Daily Times 1 May 1925 19468 20 January 2018 8 Progressive Citizens' #00529F George Baildon 9,325 62.15 Independent politician Harold Schmidt 5,678 37.85 3,647 24.30 15,003 Councillor results 1925 Auckland City Council electionhttps://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZH19250504.2.152.2 Electoral The New Zealand Herald 4 May 1925 LXII 19008 26 August 2017 16 New Zealand Labour Party Tom Bloodworth 8,862 59.06 -5.39 Progressive Citizens' #00529F John W.
