One hundred and ten Jews were elected to office today in the municipal elections held throughout Lithuania. This represents a net loss of twenty-five seats as compared to the last municipal elections. Six Jews were elected in Kaunas and 104 in the provinces. One seat is still doubtful.
Jews will thus lost three seats in Kaunas and twenty-two in the provinces of Lithuania.
