Ontario will held the second Monday in November instead of the first Monday in December Treasurer Darcy McKeough confirmed Monday The treasurer said in speech to the Association of Counties and Regions of On tario that it was essential that legislation governing new municipal election procedures be passed ithe legislature this fall in or er to prepare for the 1978 elections The original government pro posal was for the municipal election date to be moved to the third Monday in November But many municipalities wanted an earlier election date in an attempt to have better weather conditions on election day The reason the second Mon day is the earliest date pos sible is the inability of ohe ministry of revenue to fit the municipal enumeratiOn proce dures within shorter time

rejected prop0sals for financial controls on municipal campaign spending since it is not of sufficient priority to war rant the potentially high cost of devising and administering program of controls The gOVernment has also dropped its roposal to lengthen the pol ing hours on election day Originally the intention was to move the opening of 115 to am fr9m 11 am wrth an pm closing But voting hours will con tinue to be from 11 am until pm McKeough said because of opposition to extended hours from many municipalities McKeough added that many municipalities said the in creased hours would do
