Toronto mayor

The central issue of the campaign was a plan to extend University Avenue south to connect to Front Street. McBride supported the plan, with Sykes opposing it due to the expense of buying a demolishing a large number of buildings.

Board of Control

There was only one change in the membership of the Board of Control. William D. Robbins lost his seat while W.A. Summerville gained one. This result was later overturned when it was discovered that Summerville was in arrears on his municipal taxes, and thus ineligible to hold office. He was not allowed to take his seat on the board, and a by-election was called for February. Summerville paid his taxes, and was then eligible to run. He won the by-election by a considerable margin, once again besting Cameron, Pearce, and Robbins.
