THE WEST VAN NEWS The municipal election on Sat- urday principally on account of the road and bridge bylaw, caus- ed more excitement than any election, municipal or otherwise, that has ever been held in West Vancouver. Both sides had a number of autos out to bring voters to the poll, and by 8 p. m. the largest vote on record had been piled up. It was 10.30 p.m. before all the voting papers harl been separated by the election officers, and, when Reeve Vin- son was declared the winner over Ex-Reeve Gisby by 113 votes, the crowd which filled Amble- side Hall roared their applause. The announcement later that the bylaw was lost by 98 votes caus- ed even greater applause. Ex- Councillor Fiddes headed the poll for the office of councillor, se- curing 428 votes on the second count, and William Blair was elected on the third count with 410 votes. It being then midnight, the counting of the votes for the three school trustees was laid over until Monday, when Ex- Councillor J. B. Leyland and Trustee G. D. Elgar were elected on the first count, with 394 and 383 votes respectively, Trustee Mrs. M. B. Robinson winning on the fourth count. 118 Ballots were spoilt in the election for School Trustees. There was no election for the vacant seat on the police com- mission, Donald McTavish hav- ing been re-elected by acclama- tion. The following are the details of the voting, which was con- ducted under the Proportional Representation system: REEVE Reeve Vinson, 733 votes; Ex- Reeve Gisby 620 votes; majority for Reeve Vinson, 113. COUNCILLORS On the first count Wm. Blair obtained 382 votes, H. Brundrett 77 votes, J. J. Dutton 183 votes, Robert Fiddes 392 votes, IV. Mc- Quaker 143 votes, P. IVait 92 votes, or a total of 1269 votes. H. Brundrett was declared de- feated,and on the second count his 77 divided up among the other candidates produced the following result: W. Blair 395; J. J. Dutton 187; Robert Fiddes 428; W. McQuaker 147; and P. Wait 106; there being 6 votes non-transferable. The necessary quota being 424, Robert Fiddes was declared elected, and P. Wait dropped out, having the lowest number of votes. His 106 votes were divided among his oppon- ents, whose standing was then: Wm. Blair, 410; J. J. Dutton, 203 and IV. McQuaker, 161. Wm. Blair was declared elected, there being 61 non-transferable votes recorded on the second count. Considerable applause greeted the two announcements of the successful candidates for the council. The total number of votes re- corded for the by-law was 1369, 14 of which were spoilt, leaving 1355. This meant that 813 votes or three-fifths of the total were required for the by-law to pass, but, as only 715 voted in its favor, it failed to carry by 98 votes. Taking into consideration the larger number of votes polled than last October the proportion Election Results of the voters against it was ap-proximately the same as the first occasion on which it was present- ed to the electorate. It is interesting to note that in the October election 51 pe: cent. of the voters favored the bridge and road by-law, and in the election last Saturday 53 per cent favored the measure. A small increase in the number favoring the proposal. ELECTION RESULTS IN TABULAR FORM Following are the details of the elections held last Saturday: For Reeve Reeve V. V.

I ranIL&in '|et APPLETON COUP»T West Vancouver has the proud distinction of having the fust "Red Seal" all-electrical block in Western Canada. Charles Appleton, the genial owner of the block at Seventeenth Street andFulton Avenue, decided to erect this block early in 1926 and the building was completed early inthat year. The block consists of four suites of four rooms and bath upstairs, and one suite of the samesize on the ground floor, the latter being personally occupied by Mr. Appleton. The plans weredrawn by the owner-builder and revealed an ingenuity for combining comfort and space ivithcompactness. Each suite has a front veranda, hall, dining room, and two bedrooms. A Moffatt electric range, a refrigerator, and an electric fireplace has been installed in each suite. The illumina-tion of the block leaves nothing to be desired. Each of the bedroms, halls, and similar apart-ments have a central unit and two convenient outlets to which avacuum cleaner, stand lamp,or other electrical fixture may be connected. In the living room bracket fixtures are also provid- ed in addition to the central unit and convenient outlets. The basement contains a Mayflower oil burner furnace, which is abo electrically controlled. Convenient outlets for electric ivash- ers are also installed. Five separate lockup garages with electric light and hot ancl cold water are part of the ac-commodaiton, while two first class tennis courts have also been laid out. The block has been awardei 0 Red Seal certificate after inspection by the Electrical ServiceLeague of British Columbia, and this certificate will undoubtedly increase the value of the prop- erty should Mr. Appleton ever wish to sell.
