... 826 Progressives ... ... 456 Independents ... ... 37 Independent Conservatives

Independent Progressives ...

... 7 Labour ...

4 Stoke Newington ••• ••• .•• ... 30 Total ... 1,362 By arrangement the contest in Stoke Newington was con- ducted on a non-political basis.

With the significance of the elections we deal elsewhere.
