Title: 1910 Toronto municipal election Content: thumb|right|200px|Toronto's The Globe from 3 January 1910 showing the results of the 1910 municipal election. Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on 1 January 1910. George Reginald Geary was elected to his first term as mayor. Two proposals were also approved by the voters: # To build a subway system # To elect school trustees according to wards (districts). Three by-laws were also voted on, two passed. The approved by- laws were: # Building new buildings on the land of the Canadian National Exhibition; # Building more fire and police stations. The by-law that failed to win approval was the one calling for the extension of Bloor Street by means of a viaduct. ==Voting eligibility== Unlike today, many people were not allowed to vote. Women could only vote if they owned land and were either not married or widowed. There were also limits on which men could vote and people who didn't own land weren't allowed to vote on certain questions. ==Toronto mayor== Mayor Joseph Oliver did not run for re-election. George Reginald Geary had run for the mayor's office in 1908 but lost to Oliver before winning a seat on the Board of Control (the city council's executive_) the next year. In an open race in 1910, Geary's main opponent was fellow Controller Horatio Clarence Hocken, founder of the Toronto Star and social reformer whom he defeated by 4,000 votes. ;Results :George Reginald Geary - 18,996 :Horatio Clarence Hocken - 14,999 :Thomas Davies - 644 :Robert Buist Noble - 192 :Joel Marvin Briggs - 93 ==Board of Control== All results are sourced from the 3 January 1910 The Globe, page one. :Frank S.
