The sixteenth election to Glamorgan County Council, south Wales, took place in March 1937.
Alderman Dorothy Rees (Lab), who was elected for three years to fill a vacancy in 1934, also sought re-election.
[2] Dudley Howe had previously represented Cadoxton and gained the neighbouring Barry ward from Labour.
Labour lost the by-election held following the re-election of Dorothy Rees to the aldermanic bench.
Joe Brown, former agent to Ramsay Macdonald when he was MP for Aberavon, failed to gain the Labour nomination and ran as an Independent.
