Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: The deciding vote: His hand shoots into the air as Mayor Givens votes in favor of retaining Board of Control and the nine wards. This came as a major surprise to City Council members in favor of setting up in its place an executive committee as suggested in Bill 81. They had been counting on the support of mayor.
