Merle Dickerson
Merle Dickerson (1911/12 - June 9, 1984) was a Canadian politician, who served as a longtime mayor of North Bay, Ontario.〔"Colourful mayor of North Bay was last old-style politician". ''The Globe and Mail'', June 11, 1984.〕 A "colourful" populist, he was frequently re-elected despite various legal infractions.〔
==Early life==
Originally from Lindsay, Dickerson was involved in municipal politics in Lindsay in his early 20s, and was briefly barred from holding office in a conflict of interest charge over his business dealings with the city's hydroelectricity commission.〔 He later served in the Canadian Armed Forces during World War II before moving to North Bay, where he worked as a building contractor.
He ran as a Cooperative Commonwealth Federation candidate in Nipissing in the 1949 federal election, losing to Jack Garland. During this time, he was also found guilty of using his position as chair of North Bay's hydroelectricity commission to illegally tap into power lines to power rental housing that he owned without paying for it,〔"The 'last hurrah' for a maverick mayor". ''The Globe and Mail'', November 2, 1978.〕 although the conviction was overturned on appeal to the Supreme Court of Ontario.〔
