1907 Toronto municipal election


Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1907. Incumbent Mayor of Toronto Emerson Coatsworth was re-elected to a second one-year term, defeating Socialist Party of Canada candidate James Lindala and Robert Buist Noble, who was also a socialist. Lindala's strong showing and the mayor's reduced vote total was seen as a repudiation of Coatsworth with The Globe newspaper declaring on its front page "that an unknown Socialist tailor of foreign birth should poll over eight thousand votes for the Mayoralty of Toronto against a barrister of irreproachable personal character, who at one time represented his native city in Parliament... proves how utterly repugnant has been the jellyfish administration of the past year." Coatsworth did not run for a third term the following year.

Plebiscites

Four plebiscites were held. Proposals for $3 million to be spent on a trunk sewer, $110,000 to build a bridge over Yonge Street to accommodate streetcars and $125,000 for a new entrance to the Exhibition grounds were defeated. A proposal was approved to allow the city to enter into negotiations to purchase electricity from the new public Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario rather than private electricity companies, despite the criticisms of the mayor and the opposition of private electric companies.
