G. Carnell and A. S. McLeese in the Northeast Ward, and Fred J. Perry, in the Southeast Ward. The former two are re- placed by W. G. Bunker, a newcomer, and Thomas Hawkes, a former alderman, while in the Southeast Ward, there are also two new men, George Gummow and Thomas Knox, to replace Alder- have retired from council. Few Surprises Apart from the defeat of Alderman Perry, there was no result of an es- pecially surprising nature in the al- dermanic contests, the other results being pretty much as expected. In only one ward, the Northwest Ward, was the voting very close. In that ward, however, while George Morris was considerably ahead of his three rivals, only six votes separated the second" from the fourth candidate. Alderman Clifford Harman, moving from Cedardale to the 'Northwest Ward, made a good run, and was second with 246 votes. The other two candidates were both new-comers to the municipal arena, and they were close behind, Angus C. Cameron hav- ing 244 votes and Robert Keel bring- ing up the rear with 240. An unof- ficial count early in the evening had Harman and Keel tied for third place with 246 votes, but a check with the figures at the city hall proved these early figures to be slightly in error, with the result that the standing was changed, and Keel dropped out. A Splendid Vote Another feature of the aldermanic contests was the magnificent vote ac- corded to Alderman George Hart in the Southeast Ward. In that ward he headed the poll with 704 votes, be- ing 151 votes ahead of George Gum- mow, a new member of council, who had 553 votes. Third place in this @ward was taken by Thomas Knox, another 'newcomer with 425 votes, this completing the successful candi- dates. Ald. F. J. Perry dropped considerably behind with 364 votes to his credit, while H.. Chmara, an Uk- rainian candidate, brought up the rear with 164 votes against his name. A Hard Fought Contest Perhaps the hardest fought contest of all the aldermanic elections was fought in the Northeast Ward, where there were five candidates for (Continued on Page 6) Bad Weather Halts Search For Aviators Fliers at Five Points Waiting to Seek Five Missing Men (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Nome, Alaska, Jan. 7.--Fliers at five points in Alaska and Siberia were waiting today for favorable weather to allow them to continue their hunt for five missing fellow aviators, The missing list, which for al- most two months has contained the names of Carl Ben Elelson and Earl Borland, was increased by three when Pilot Pat Reid and William.

' Ratepayers Rejected Plan to Build New Police Station on Prince Street by Ma- jority of 787 -- Over- whelming Majority * Also Registered Against Salar- ies For Aldermen -- Both Proposals Defeated in Every Sub-Division By ' overwhelming majorities, the people of Oshawa yestérday rejected two proposals placed before them by the 1929 city council for decision. On the bylaw to provide for the raising of $50,000 by the sale of debentures for the erection of anew police sta- tion on Prince Street, the ratepayers voted against the proposal by a vote of 1,463 to 676, giving a majority of 787 against the bylaw. On the ques- tion of paying salaries to the alder- men of the city, electors to the num- ber of 2,079 voted "No," while 943 electors voted "Yes." Thus a definite verdict was registered, rejecting both proposals, and voicing, in unmistak- able terms, the opinion of the people with regard to them. The feature of the voting on the sections of the city. the bylaw for the erection of the new police station on Prince Street was defeated, and the same was true of the question of paying salaries to the aldermen. The lack of definite reasons in sup- port of building the new police sta- tion at the corner of Prince and Richmond Streets, and the absence of any popular support for the pro- two proposals was the universal re- jection of them by the people of all | In every ward, |, posal to pay salaries to the alder- men were responsible, to a large ex- tent, for their defeat according to the view expressed by many citizens who were at the office of The Times last night waiting for the returns to be made. There were few regrets because the proposals, for no one seemed to be dermanic salaries, and the majority of the people seemed to be of the opinion that the plan for incorporat- ing the police station in civic build- ings to be erected overlooking the Memorial Site was the proper way of dealing with the lack of accommo- dation for all civic departments. With the police station bylaw de- feated, it is expected that thc new city council will take steps to im- prove conditions at the present po- the present police building. This, it is understood, will be taken up at an early date by the city council, which will meet next week to organ- ize for the year 1930.

Peace Pact Is Deemed Likely Agreement Would Have Great Effect on Coming Naval Conference (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Paris, Jan. T.--Negotiations of a Mediterranean pact of non-ag- gression, it was learned today on authoritative circles, .is now deem- ed possible. The successful elab- oration of such a pact, it is believ- ed here, would affect favorably the whole course of the London Naval Conference and would in. crease notably the chances of suc- cess of that meeting, Preliminary negotiations during the past two days have radically changed the pessimism of last week on this question of a Medit- erranean pact, IMPORTANT SESSION FOR MANITOBA HOUSE Winnipeg, Jan. © The Mani- toba legislature will go into ses- sion Tuesday, January 11, it wae announced last night. It will be one of the most impor! essions in the history of the province, as the government will seek ratifica- tion of the agreemcnt with the Dominion for the transfer of nat- ural resources to Manitoba, . The Utilities Vote The election for the public 'utilities comimssion found John Stacey well in the lead with a grand total of 2,122 votes, his nearest opponent, Frank L. Mason, having 1,711. Next in line came Gordon D. Conant, with 1,582, while the fourth member to be elect- ed was William "H. Ross, with 1,411 votes, He was not a great deal ahead of Herbert P. Schell, ex-mayor of the city, who polled 1,277 votes, with J. C. Fowlds, whose absence from the city at election time probably hurt his cause, polling 941 votes. In every ward but one, that bein. the Northeast ward, Mr. Stacey led his opponents. In the Northeast ward, both Mr. Mason and Mr. Con+ ant were ahead of Mr. Stacey, but the margin by which they led him was not nearly sufficient to overcome the lead which he piled up elsewhere in the city. In the Southeast. Ward, particularly, Mr. Stacey polled very heavily, his vote in division No. 6 bes ing more than three times that of his nearest opponent, and in No, seven over two and a half times that of the candidate who stood second on the list, indicating that his friends in these divisions had stood loyally by him, and had given him a great many "plumpers." The race for the fourth place be« tween Mr, Ross and Mr. Schell was very close. The first few polls to re- port gave Mr. Schell a majority over Mr. Ross, but as the later figures came in that was wiped out, and in the final standing, the former chairs man of the water commission led his old colleague on that board by 58 votes. : Of the four members of the com= mission, three have already served the ° city as. mayor, and two have been aspirants for even higher honers, for Mr, Stacey and Mr, Mason have both contested the riding of South One tario in provincial elections. Mr, Conant is the other member who has occupied the mayor's chair. The four elected members, along with Mayor T. B. Mitchell, will form the first public utilities commission for Oshe awa, and will take over the newly+ acquired electric and gas distribution sysiems, and the water system of the city.
