Parker came back into the race for
second place on the ticket. the informal
vote giving him 50 to O'Connell's SO.
A strong attempt was made by Park
er's friends to get enough votes to pull
him through on the final ballot, but
the hackers of O'Connell were more
than equally busy and the result was
that the latter won by 10S to 33.
1t was o until just before adjourn
ment that it was remembered that a
City Home trustee must be selected.
and the place was given to Mr.. Aron-
son by reclamation.
