Kitchener electors on Monday reâ€" clected Joseph. Meinzinger mayor for the fourth consccutive year. Polling 5,925 votes, Meinzinger enâ€" joyed a majority of 2.013 over his only opponent, Ald. Henry W. Sturm. In past years, Kitchener electors have adhered to the practice of ullowing the chief magistrate to reâ€" tain his chair for two years, at the most three. A definite surprise in the election was the return of Dr. Stanley Leaâ€" vine to the aldermanic circle in third place, despite the fact he was defeated by Meinzinger in last year‘s mayoral contest. The alderâ€" manic field was aguin led by Albert J. Cundick, president of the Kitchâ€" ener board of trade and Red Cross association. Ald, Clarence Seibert, who "jockeyed" with Ald,. Cundick for first place almost until the last poll was recorded, placed second. Ironically, the defeated mayoral candidate is president of the Musical Society, while the 1943 mayorâ€"elect was an opponent. Howâ€" ever, the clectors did not reâ€"indorse Ald. Gordon S. Raymond, who reâ€" cently attempted to secure an inâ€" terim â€" injunction | preventing . the ratepayers from voting on the band tax byâ€"law. Raymond placed eighth in the aldermanic race, with only six aldermen being required. Complete results were as folâ€" lows: Mayor, Frank B. Relyea, 1,218 votes; Aldermen: Dr. F. F. Hughes, Jr., 1,227; Vernon Snider, 1,117; Fredcrick Toletzki, 1,097; Wilfred Hilliard, 1,091; Robert Kee, 751; Gideon Beam, 672.

"He has made very serious accusations in an endeavour to give me a rimming, butâ€"I can take it." (By Staff Writer) Almost a newcomer to Waterloo, Ald. Frank B. Relyea was elected mayor of Waterloo with a majority of 350 over Ald. Wesley McKersic, Monday. Well known here, Ald. McKersie served as mayor for four consecuâ€" tive years, finally being defeated in 1940 by W. D. Brill, who is retiring from. political life. Mayor Meinzinger charged Ald.
