January 1924 Ottawa municipal election  The city of Ottawa, Canada held municipal elections on January 7, 1924 to elect members of the 1924 Ottawa City Council. It was the first of two municipal elections held in the 1924 calendar year, as the 1925 council was elected in December 1924. There was a vote on the bylaw to sanction the agreement with the Ottawa Electric Railway Company. The bylaw would do away with ticket fares, replacing them with a straight five cent fare. It also means the company can begin construction on the Laurier Avenue, Bank to Elgin line and the Ottawa East line.
