* If one Councillor was to be elected for a ward in 1945, the Councillor so elected should retire in 1948. Of the two existing Councillors, the one with the longer term of office will retire in 1946, and the other in 1947. If two Councillors were to be elected for a ward in 1945, then the Councillor not required to retire in 1945 will retire in 1946. The Councillor elected in 1945 with the smaller number of votes will retire in 1947, and the other in 1948. If three Councillors were elected, the one with the smallest number of votes will retire in 1946, the Councillor with the next smallest will retire in 1947, with the remaining Councillor retiring in 1948. |
