Watford was created as an urban district under the Local Government Act 1894, and became a municipal borough by grant of a charter in 1922.
At the first election to the then Urban District Council, held in December 1894, there was a large number of candidates – 30 – seeking election to the 12 seats. The Ratepayers’ Association and the Labour Electoral Association held a joint campaign meetings as their “programmes were nearly alike in meaning, though not in words”. Pitkin was one of the Labour candidates and chaired one of the meetings; Holmes was secretary of the Ratepayers’ Association and stated the Association were running five candidates. Those candidates marked below attended/spoke during (at least) one of the meetings.
The result of the election was as follows:
Elected: Dr. Arthur King 1,141 Edward J. Slinn 940 Charles Brightman 927 Walter T. Coles 886 Joseph C. Benskin 865 George Capell 814 Charles P. Ayres 812 William Wilson (Bushey) 791 Thomas Turner 763 Albert E. Pridmore 748 (Ratepayer / Labour) George Pitkin (senr.) 724 (Ratepayer / Labour) William F.D. Schreiber 712
Not elected: John Weall 686 Francis Fisher 649 Ezra T. Wilks 639 George Longley 553 John C. Binyon 547 Charles Barnes 543 (Ratepayer / Labour) Harry G. Holmes 541 (Ratepayer / Labour) John Miles 517 John Andrews 492 Alfred G. Elson 487 Benjamin Collins 471 (Ratepayer / Labour) Edward C. Oxley 420 (Ratepayer / Labour) Charles H. Constable 389 Felix Sumner Knyvett 382 Joseph S. Sheffield 255 (Ratepayer / Labour) James Pratt 118 George Foreman 114 George W. Taylor 37
