Manley and Jeff Davis, while J. Ww. Jones was not elected. There being no qualified candidates for the North ward, no person ran for aldermanic honors on that side, and the local legislature at Victoria will likely have to make pro- vision ior representation in the city council forthe North ward of people who are not strictly qualified according to the Municipal act of 1896.
