Sec, 36. On the day succeeding the election, or
within three days thereafter, the Mayor shall call

the candidates, respectively, as shown by the returns
of the inspectors, and the Mayor shall publicly de­
clare the result.

highest number of votes cast for one office shall be

dates receive an equal and the highest number of
votes for the same office, another election therefor
shall be held upon the order of the Mayor.

Sec. 38. The three (or four, as the case may
be) candidates for Councilmen receiving the high­
est number of votes shall be declared elected.

Sec. 39. If the returns shall be shown or shall
appear to be so irregular, false or fraudulent that
the canvassing board shall be unable to determine
the true vote for any officer, then in that case it
it shall be the duty of the Mayor to declare and
order a special election therefor.
