New elections to the Kehillah here will have to take place, according to a decision of the City Council.
Elections to the Kehillah were held only a short time ago, during which the Assimilationists, the old party in power, were defeated by an overwhelming popular vote of the Jewish community, which elected representatives of the Zionists and National Jewish elements.
The City Council annulled the elections on the complaint of the Assimilationists.
