HISTORY

1904 Fremantle Tramways And Electric Lighting. Election Of The Board. Another page in the history of the Fremantle Municipal Tramway and Electric Lighting Scheme will he recorded today, when the first Board of Management is elected by the ratepayers. It is provided in the Fremantle Tramways and Electric Lighting Act that the Board shall consist of five members, the Mayor for the time being of Fremantle being a member ex officio, while the four other members are to be elected by the rate payers, who, for the purposes of the election, have been divided into two sections-property owners and occupiers. Keen interest has been manifested in the present election, and most of the candidates for office on the Board have conducted vigorous campaigns. The Political Labour Party have entered into the contest, and they are running candidates for each of the seats. There is no lack of aspirants for the four vacancies, there being no less than seventeen candidates nominated: Occupiers' Seat... Walter Francis Wood, East Fremantle.
