daylight saving time for the city. They also voted in favour of spending money to create an ornate gate at the entrance to the
Exhibition Place, which became the
Princes' Gates.
Toronto mayor
Thomas Foster had first been elected to city council in 1891 and was running for his third consecutive term as mayor. He was opposed by
Sam McBride and labour candidate
William D. Robbins. Foster was reelected by a narrow margin.
There was only one change in the membership of the
Board of Control.
Sam McBride chose to run for mayor, and the open seat was won by former Alderman
Bert Wemp who had tried, but failed, to capture a board seat the year before.
