1899 Toronto municipal election

Mayor John Shaw was elected for his third consecutive term in office defeating opponent Ernest A. Macdonald and Third Ward Alderman George McMurrich.

[2] Three by-laws authorizing expenditures were approved by plebiscite: $62,500 for the erection of the Queen Street Viaduct spanning the Don River; $150,00 for the remodelling of St. Lawrence Market, and $40,000 for waterfront improvements at the foot of Bay Street.

Only two aldermen seeking re-election were defeated, both in the First Ward: John Leslie, who had also sat on the city's powerful Toronto Board of Control (which at this time was still chosen by city council rather than elected), and Alderman Richardson who were replaced by former alderman Stewart and John Russell.
