Fielding was declared elected. As there were no more Councillors nominated than are required, these candidates were declared duly elected to serve as Councillors for the Township of Puslinch for the year 1937. In consequence of the fact that the nominations for the Reeveship exceeded the number required, the election of a Reeve was adjourned until Monday, the 4th day of January of 1937, to be decided by ballot at the polls designated in the bylaw prepared for that purpose.
