Why Stick to the Old Dates? ; Many municipalities in Ontario have changed the date for holding the mun- icipal nominations and elections to a time that will not conflict with the Christmas festivities. Just why the last week in December and the first Monday in January were ever made ifixed times in the Municipal Act for 'holding nominations and elections has always been a puzzle to many people1 who prefer to have the Christmas and] New Year season unmolested by the excitement attending municipal elec- tions. The period covering Christmas and New Year is a time when the spirit of friendliness, good will and cordial greeting should be exercised by all. The Municipal Act now gives municipalities the option of holding the municipal nominatons and elec- tions three weeks earlier, and al- ready a number of rural municipali- ties have taken advantage of it. It is to be hoped that Drayton and ad- Joining townships will fall in line with the new dates next year. There is no- thing to be gained by adhering to someâ€" thing that never should have been placed on the statute book. The On- tario Legislature should amend the Municipal Act by doing away with the old dates for holding municipal nom- inations and electionsâ€"Drayton Ad- vacate. tion.
