Elections to the municipality of Tel Aviv, the first Jewish city in Palestine, were held yesterday. The returns showed that the elections brought a victory for the workers party which was in office prior to the election. Notwithstanding the fact that the house owners boycotted the elections, a large number of the inhabitants participated in the vote. Seventy-five hundred voters, amounting to 66 per cent of the population entitled to vote, took part in the elections.
Fourteen candidates of the workers party were elected, three representing the Association of Polish Jews, seven representing the Zionist Revisionists, five of the Orthodox group, four of the center block, four of the tenants association and three of the Poale Zion.
