THE BURGH MOVEMENT – STEVENSTON
A meeting of those favourable to the formation of the town into a police burgh was held in the Woodside Hall last night – Mr Alexander McGregor, of the Ardeer Foundry, in the chair.
The chairman gave the result of the plebiscite on the question, which showed a clear majority in favour of the scheme.
Rev. A Morris Moodie moved, and Mr George Sinclair seconded, that it is expedient that the town should be formed into a burgh, and that steps be taken to have this carried out.
There was no amendment, and the motion was unanimously carried.
A large committee was appointed to get the resolution carried into effect.
