Details
DescriptionPrinted in the 'Leader' on June 7, 2000.
Lower Hutt and its mayor John Terris had been campaigning to change its name to Hutt City. The decision was up to Rimutaka M P Paul Swain, who was Minister of land Information; he might have to defer to the Prime Minister, who would be more impartial. The May 31 'Leader' had printed a picture of Rex Kirton in a kayak with a new Hutt Valley visitors' guide; they could have used another, with both mayors aboard.
