Mr. Hjorring, formerly representing the South Ward, was a, candidate for the West Ward, being opposed by Mr. E. T. George. For the South Ward Mr. W. Inder,. formerly representing the West Ward, but now without qualification in that ward,was a candidate and was .opposed by Mr. (x. E. liowlatt. In both cases the old cbuncillors were defeated.
