In the mayorality race between incumbent Mayor Des Newman and fresh-at-the-polls challenger Pat Dooiey there wasn 't any contest. Mayor Newman led from the start and excepting possibly two polis itever looked back. The final tally was Newman way ahead with 4,727 votes and Dooley with 1,707. "I'm delighted to be back", said Des, "and I really look forward to the next few months anid the preliminary work in setting up the region".
