Elections were held every year for positions on Port McNicoll Council and School Board. These four photos appeared on various pages of the Free Press Herald, December 7th, 1956. All of these photos were taken within the Municipal Offices which was located On Davidson between Third and Fourth Avenues. The building faced Davidson, just below the cenotaph. Most of the men and women are identified, but your help is needed to identify some of the people in one photo for posterity.

The photos are captioned below.
