It stall is -- though not
quite in the way an-
ticipated.

When the nominations
deadline arnved on October

in the mayoralty contests. As
a result, Mayor Don Bell of
North Vancouver District
and Mayor Derrick Hum-
phreys of West Vancouver
were re-lected by = ac-
clamaton.

ALDERMANIC RACES

Also re-elected by = ac-
clamation, in the absence of
any challengers, were West
Vancouver's three in-
cumbent aldermen running
for a further term — Don
Lanskail, Bob Hicks and
John Humphries. Mean-
while, the three incumbent
North Vancouver Dhistrict

Mary Segal -— are being
challenged by two outsiders.

NORTH VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

Last year Howard and Hall
lost out, after a recount, by
only two and four voles
respectively. Taylor was also
an unsuccessful 1979 can-
didate.

SCHOOL BOARDS

The big excitement.
however, is in the school
board contests -- particularly
in view of the fact that the
school boards spend more of
the taxpayers’ dollars than
municipal councils.

There are six contenders
in the North Van School

Board race for three
vacancies — split’ along
partisan lines
