Of the 2,83% who came out to vote, 2,673 were in favour of the resolution. A statement at that time said ‘"The town by its‘ petiâ€" tion has represented that its‘ population is now upâ€" ward of 10,000 and is increasâ€" ing rapidly ; that it has many large manufacturing comâ€" panies located within its‘ limits and that it is an important insurance centre containing the head offices of the largest insurance company whereas many of the business men, manufacâ€" turers, residents and Board of Trade have urged the council thereof to apply to have the town erected into a city."

It was no great distinction while being a town, but once a city, Waterloo was one of the few cities in Canada where residents could not catch a train on either of the railroad lines. At the time Waterloo beâ€" came a city there was alâ€" ready â€" great â€" community interaction between itself and â€" Kitchener. _ Besides many of the clubs and orâ€" ganization being based in Kitchener with no Waterâ€" loo organization of their own as yet, Waterloo was supplyâ€" ing the west end of Kitchenâ€" er with water while Kitchenâ€" er was supplying Waterloo with gas.
