ANOTHER ONLOOKER, 1 MUNICIPAL `ELECTIONS Simon Mitchell Wins in Race for Reeveship. • It is very hard to predict the result of the votins: in a three -cornered con- test for any position and on Monday there was considerable speculation as to who would be the winner in the con- test for the Reeveship: There were 73 votes less cast this year for this posi- tion than was the case last year. Mr. Simon Mitchell was able to pretty well retain his vote of last year and was con- sequently an easy winner. This was Mr. Mitchell's third contest for the position and the old saying "If at first you don't succeed, try again" has proven true in his case. The by=law providing for the issuing of debentures to the amount of $2,200 to pay for machinery building and hose tower was carried by a vote of 217 to 64. On the plebiscite on the question of granting the municipal franchise to married women was carried oy a vote of 266 to 177. • The votes in detail are. as follows: - FOR REEVE.
