December 31st 1928. Nomination Meeting The annual nomination meeting was held, pursuant to statute, on December 31st at one o’ clock p.m., in the Township Hall, Aberfoyle. A very large attendance of ratepayers was present, and the following gentlemen were duly nominated for the offices of Reeve and Councillor: for Reeve, Wm. Crow and Fred Roszell, and for Councillor, Walter Holm, Marshall Haines, Daniel Hesketh, John McAllister, Hector McCaig, Duncan McDonald, Neil Black, Samuel Smith, and Neil Stewart. Mr. D. J. Hesketh failed to make the required Declaration of Qualification within the required limit of time, and his name was therefore withdrawn from the list. In consequence of the fact that the nominations for Reeve and Councillor exceeded the number of offices to be filled, the meeting was adjourned until Monday, January the 7th, 1929, to be decided by ballot at the polls, designated in the bylaw, prepared for that purpose.
