KINLOSS COUNCIL.
RETURNED MONDAY
Kinloss electors went to the polls
on Monday and returned the old
Council without a change.. Re-elect-
ed were'George. Tiffin, Dan T. Mac-
Kinnon, Earle Hodgins and Alex
MacKenzie, the same foursome that
have constituted' the Coined],' Boar
for the past two years underthe
reeveship of • Richard Elliott, who
was returned to office by acclama-
tion.
With only five candidates in the
running for the four seats, there
was an exceptionally. large vote poll-
ed, with George Tiffin heading the
list with a tptal of 41)7 votes. Dan
MacKinnon *as, close 'behind with
397 votes end Earle Hodgins and
Alex MacKenzie ran a close heat
placing ,third and 4th, respectively
with 356 and 35l votes.
..The losing -candidate, John -Em-
erson, polled 263 votes, which was
only 4 less than what elected the
fourth man two years ago. At that,
timethere were seven in the field
as councillors, and a contest for
the reeveship. •
The heavy vote on , Monday is
indicated by a comparison of the
1939 totals of the four winning coun-
cillors, which were, MacKinnon 308,
Tiffin 282, MacKenzie,•.274.arid Hod-
gins 267:I It Will be recalled, that
the weather was very er bad two ear•
s
ago however. Y ,
The vote is regarded ley many as
an expression of approval of tie
stand taken by Councillors Tiffin,

to the contentious drainage . prob-
leern in the municipality.
