In the board of education election,
surprise was sprung in the defeat
OF John Fry He had been on the
board for IL years and 1t was gener-
ally conceded that he would be re-
turned. The Rev. ]. c. Tolmie head
ed the poll for the board of educa-
ton, an honor he also enjoyed when
De ran two years ago.
Windsor voted on three other pro-
positions. The electors carried the
measure TO issue debentures TO raise
$4,000 for past and future improve
ments; also declared for the com
mission plan of municipal govern
ment, and defeated the bylaw for
the raising of $4,000 for a new fire
hall in the west end of the city
In spite of the fact that Windsor
expressed a desire TO try the com
mission system OF running Its city
affairs, II will not be able to put the
wish of the citizens into effect right
away. Special legislation will be
necessary to empower the city to put
the commission plan In force, for the
reason that the present law provides
that no city under $4,000 population
can be governed by commission.
Guelph, Ont, about the same size as
Windsor. is now trying to have the
law changed so that it can try the
commission plan.
