Will not change name of city : City council unanimously votes against submitting the name-changing by-law to the electors.

Kitchener Daily Telegraph, December 2, 1919, p. 1: "History was made in Kitchener Monday night when the City Council unanimously turned down the clause in the Finance report calling for a plebiscite on the question of changing the name of Kitchener back to Berlin." A second article, also on the front page, reports on the aftermath of the evening: "Alds. Bitzer and Bowman, Messrs. Asmussen and Euler requested to kiss flag." "Ald. Bitzer was subsequently ducked four times in Victoria Lake, the News-Record office was wrecked by the crowd, Ald. Asmussen, M.P.P. was dragged from his home to the Victoria Hall and finally W.D. Euler, M.P., was seized at the Lancaster Club and rushed across the street to the hall where demands were made that he kiss the flag and offer apologies. He refused to do either of these and received a few blows from the crowd."
