By-elections

MONTREAL. (CP)-Three prov- incial by-elections will be held Wednesday in Montreal district constituencies in the wake of cam- paigns fought largely on the record of the Union Nationale govern- ment.

The by-elections will be the first since 1954 when premier Duples- sis' government introduced a per- sonal income tax. Although the tax is felt. mainly by salaried wor- kers in urban areas. it has not been a major campaign issue.

A total of 12 candidates were

ominated June 22 to contest the by-elections in Montreal Laurier. Westmount-St. George and St. Hyacinthe.

Present standing, in the legis- lative assembly: nion Nationals 66; Liberals 21; ' J, ” t ' vacant 4.

The vacancy that will remain unfilled following the by-elections is in Sheiford constituency. It was made vacant by the resignation of Gaston Ledoux, Liberal. now awaiting trial on a charge of receiving stolen goods.

TAX DISPUTE FEATURED

Premier Duplessisi dispute with the federal government over the division of tax revenues has been in feature of the campaign. The premier has said that the election of Union Nationale candidates will be interpreted as a renewal of his mandate to seek what he has des- Cfllilfd as respect of the province's R is.
