The United Party Caucus in the City Council has nominated Councillor Sam Moss, present Deputy Mayor, and Councillor Alf Widman, MPC, respectively as next mayor and deputy mayor of the city. Both Mr. Moss and Mr. Widman are well known members of the Jewish community and are active Jewish communal workers. Both have served on the City Council for several years. Since the United Party has a heavy majority in the Council, both men are assured of election when the term of office of the present mayor ends in March.
