wholesale canvassing local government extension act last week we erred in our reference to the local government ex tension act it is a 5 petition rather than a petition signed by 25 persons which is required to demand a vote on the question of the two year municipal term quoting from the act we find that section 7 says the municipal council may on the polling day for the election of members of such council for the year 1941 submit to a vote of the municipal electors the following question are you in favour as a wartime measure under the local government extension act 1940 of the munlci pal council elected for 1941 holding office for the term of two rears or if a petition signed by at least ave per centum or 5 000 of the total number of persons whose names appear on the last certified voters list for use at municipal elections re questing the council to submit such questions is sled with the clerk not later than ave weeks before such polling day the council shall submit such question to a vote as foresaid this is an important question and one which should be submitted to the voters for their consideration voting on such a by law at the time of our next municipal election
