LEGGE Reeve of King township who scored a remarkable victory a the polls re- ceiving the largest vot§§ and largest majority ever given a reeve of that municipality. Reeve Legge has been prominent in the County Council, last year being one of the Commissioners, and a member of the Old Age Penâ€" sions Board. He is being strongly urged by his many friends to be a candidate for the Wardenship of the {County this year. Only 262 voters, considerably 1eSS than half of those qaulified to do so ventured out to vote on the Nursing Service ballot submitted to the people by the Richmond Hill Council on Mon- day. The ballot asked whether or not you favored participating with the Township of Vaughan and the village of Woodbridge in a demonstration of Public Health Nursing with a View to A Small Vote On The Nurse Question a permanent nursing service after June lst next, provided that the a- foresaid municipalities combine with Richmond Hill for that purpose. The ofiicial result of the vote show- ed 135 voted No, and 124 voted Yes. There were two rejected ballots and one spoiled ballot both marked Yes so that the actual voting was 135 No and 127 Yes. I The lack of definite information and the fact that the vote was taken on short notice and not advertised more than indifference to the Nurs- ing Service question explains the small vote registered.
