The 1935 municipal election was held November 13, 1935 to elect a mayor and five aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and four trustees to sit on the public school board (Charles Gariepy, Thomas Malone, R D Tighe, and William Wilde were acclaimed to two-year terms on the separate school board). Voters also approved a requirement that candidates for city council be required to own property. There were ten aldermen on city council, but five of the positions were already filled: Hugh MacDonald, John Wesley Fry, Dick Foote, John McCreath, and James East were all elected to two-year terms in 1934 and were still in office. This election saw emergence of a new civic political party, the Tax Reform League, an anti-Social Credit organization carrying on the anti-tax, anti-Premier Aberhart work that the Civic Government Association had conducted in previous elections.〔Tom Monto, Protest and Progress. Crang Publishing/Alhambra Books (2012), p.229〕 There were seven trustees on the public school board, but three of the positions were already filled: Samuel Barnes, Frederick Casselman, and Izena Ross had all been elected to two-year terms in 1934 and were still in office. The same was true of the separate school board, where A J Crowe, J O Pilon, and J O'Hara were continuing. ==Voter turnout== There were 19984 ballots cast out of 48003 eligible voters, for a voter turnout of 41.6%. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edmonton municipal election, 1935」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
