Mayor of Richmond, New Zealand

[5] Chisnall stood in the 29 April 1914 election and narrowly beat James Hunt, a previous mayor.

[9] Bell was succeeded by William Wilkes, who retired after tree two-year terms in 1923.

[11] James Hunt won the resulting by-election and served the remainder of the two-year term until April 1925, when he retired.

[16] At the April 1927 local election, Richmond Borough was faced with the unusual problem of not having received any nominations for the mayoralty.

[17] When another call was made for nominations two weeks later, former mayor Hunt was the only candidate and thus declared elected.
