Important Changes in
laxnicipal .Act
Overdue and Unpaid Taxes at Time
of Election Prevents Qualification
Says Municipal World—Interpre-
tation of Act as it Read Formerly
Provided a Loophole.
hnpurcant cleingee in the Muniei-
pal Election Aet governing the
qualification of candidates will be
effective in the fortilcotmti' elec-
tion campaign here, and quite pos-
sibly will debar some who could
have qualified last year, it 'e stated.
According to the "rungged 'World,
which is deemed the authority on
ouch matters, the following will not
be entitled to sit or to pole. a vote.
"A person. whose taxes at the
time of the election (Nomination
Day) are overdue and unpaid, but
this clause shall not apply to a per-
son who is a tenant holding under
a lease which provides that the
landlord shall pay the taxes and who
qualifies hi respect of other land
than that covevicet' by such lease."
"A person against the land in re-
spect of which he qualifies, there
are at the time of the election any
taxes overdue and unpaid."
Last year the sectior which hat
now been amended es :move, reads:
"A person who at the time of the
election is liable for any arrears of
taxes to the corporation of the muni-
eipality,"
This, however, provided a loop-
hole inasmuch as the wort! "ar-
rears" was interpreted co mean,
"taxes which appeared on the roll
was transferred from 'tae tax collec-
tor to the treasurer." A persot,
whose current taxes were unpaid at
the time of nomination was not,
therefore deemed to be in arrears.
The following i the oath of quali-
fication which must be taken by a
candidate for election this year be-
fore the city clerk:
"I am a householder residing in
this municipality and am assessed
as owner (or tenant) of a dwelling
or apartment house (or part of a
dwelling or apartment ]louse separ-
ately occupied as a dwelling) or (tun
rated on the last revised assessment
roll for land held in my right for an
amount sufficient to entitle mo to be
entered' on the voters' list) and that
I reside in (or within five miles of)
the municipality.
I am entered on the last revised
voters' list as qualified to vote at
anunicipal elections.
I am a British subject and am not
a citizen or a subject of any for-
eign country.
I am of the full age of twenty-one
years.
I am not disqualified under the
provisions of Section 53 of the. Mun-
icipal Act or under any other Act.
And I make this solemn declara-
tion conscientiously believing it to
be true and knowing that it is of the
sante force and effect as if made un-
