Alternate Title
  • Controller Margaret Campbell wants to be boss of City Hall. She announced her decision to run for mayor at a big party last night at the St. Lawrence Market. Mrs. Campbell, 56, has three grown children and one 5-year-old granddaughter and she's a 10-year veteran of civic politics. For the last three, as chief controller, she's been in charge of Toronto's finances. A lawyer, she strikes observers as coolly intelligent; she says she's shy about meeting new people.
