Six New Faces As a result of the election there will be six new faces on the 1928 council. There are new incumb- ents in the mayor s chair and the reeve and deputy reeves posi- tions.

The actions were pre- ferred at the instance of one Joseph Clayton, an aged man who ,claims he was assaulted Christ- mas eve near the corner of Berczy and McDonald streets and left to lie in the snow for ve hours, or until he regained consciousness.
