Mr. Beath was granted the controversial tie-breaking vote under an interpretation of the Durham Act which gives the Regional chairman a vote in the event of a tie during council sessions. However, Mr. Pilkey and some of his supporters challenged this interpreta- tion on the grounds that Mr. Beath was not the chairman during the vote for the chair- man's position and should not have been able to cast a ballot. When the vote by Regional council was taken on Decem- ber 6 for the new chairman, Durham clerk Cec Lundy had assumed the chair. The vote among the 30 members of the Durham council ended in a 15-15 deadlock and Mr. Beath cast the deciding vote in his own favour.
