One handicap in getting out 'a large vote, he said, was the return by acclam- ation of the •MaYor, the Reeve and the Deputy Reeve, "which took the spice • out of the election." •e• ' New Catmeillor Makes His Bow At this point, Mr: Menzies congratu- lated Mr. Clayton Edward on his elec- tion, at the head of the poll, to the :Town Council.
