Description
Charles Luke was born in St Just in Penwith, England and immigrated to New Zealand, with his parents, in July 1874. By 1895 he was mayor of Wellington.
Although the economic depression was lifting, there were still many people in Wellington without work.
Charles and his Council tried to alleviate the situation by creating more jobs, particularly in areas such as road building and gorse cutting.
