Gas Plant Sale Bylaw The record of voting showed that on the first bylaw, that for the sale the gas plant to Ben E. Tate and 'His associates, on which property- eS only were eligible to vote, ballots were cast. 'Of these, 1401 ere in favor of the bylaw, and 341 Jeet, ing 2 a majority of or the by was s over 4 to PL favor oT ee by- law. In some wards, the margin was greater, Popestionaiely. Cedar. vot to 10, 1, favor of 8. bylaw, EH theast Ward gave 486 votes for 1 bylaw and 90 against, over 5 to in fayor, Even the Southwest , which gave it the poorest sup- re voted in favor of it by 222 to almost three to one in favor. ; Franchise Bylaw the second bylaw, that to grant Seyear franchise to the pur- sers of the system, 2603 votes e cast, the ir Inika being due to i fact that the general electorate of city had the right to vote on this ion. Of the votes cast, 2026 fa- ed the bylaw and 577 were op- i joted, a margin of 1449, or pearly to one in favor. Cedardal Ward again led the way in propor- . tionate majcrity, for its vote of 226 ig represented a margin of nearly | si to 1 4 favor of the bylaw. The ie Ward also did well, with | di votes for the bylaw a and 137 bout five an f to one nine Ero. The Southwest Ward e this bylaw 302 votes for and against, a proportion of about .and a half to one, and the North- £ Ward, the stamping ground of Ww. Watkinson, one of the opposi- leaders, voted for it by S02 to also about two and a half to pi 'favor. Fixed Assessment On the third bylaw, that te grant a fixed assessment of $84,000 for ten years, it was necessary to have a two- thirds vote in favor of the bylaw. This mark, however, was easily at- tained, the 1,656 votes cast being divided so as to give 1283 for the by- law and 373 inst it, a majority of 910 in favor of the bylaw. The num- ber needed to carry it was 1105, so that the required vote was exceeded by 178. On this bylaw the ratepay- ers voted by over three to one in favor of granting the fixed assess- ment. Cedardale Ward carried it by 107 to 11, the Southeast Ward by 441 to 98, the Southwest by 203 to 87, the Northeast by 353 to 130. and the Northwest by 179 to 57, so that in every ward the bylaw had more than the required two-thirds vote. It is interesting to note that while 1742 votes were cast on the bylaw to sell the gas system, only 1656 were cost on the fixed assessment bylaw, al- though the same voters were eligible in each case. This seems to indicate that 86 persons who voted on the sale bylaw refrained from voting on the fixed assessment bylaw, either from ignorance of the fact that there were two bylaws on the one ballot paper, or because of a desire to withhold an opinion on the fixed assessment. Returns Came Quickly The 'work of the deputy-retursing officers was well done on Saturday, and the returnd were completed early in the evening. It was exact! when the first report reache Times office, that from Division No. 1,-at Centre Street School, It showed substantial" majorities for bylaws Jo. 1 and 2, but failed to give Bylaw 3 the required two-thirds vote. From that time on, the results poured in ii rapidly, and before half of them been received the result in all three Pie was a foregone conclu- hile every division gave a rity for all three bylaws, six visions out of 'the twenty-eight failed to give the fixed assessment bylaw the necessary two-thirds vote, but three of these were only one vote short of the required figure, while another was two votes short. On the whole, the result was emin- ently satisfactory to the supporters of the bylaws, and particularly to Mayor Marks and the City Conincil, and Chairman John Stacey and the members of the Public Utilities Com- Travel the King's Highway OSHAWA - SINGLE RETURN TORONTO 8c - $1.55 + (Effective Monday, March 23, 1931), NO CHANGE OF TIMETABLE , Tickets and information at GRAY COACH CLINES The CEDARDALE-Division No. 13 A to L MtoZ EL EX LR TOTALS Ward Total eisasnense souTHEAST WARD --Divislon No. 4 AtoL Divisten No. § 4 : Mz Division No. 6 Ato L Division No. 7'AtolL Ward Tom! .
