Two years later, he defeated incumbent Mayor Joseph-Ernest Grégoire and began a 15-year mayoralty career, through city elections in 1940, 1942, 1944, 1947 and 1950. He succeeded in attracting significant industrial development during his term in office, including the development of eight new industrial parks. Borne also promoted the replacement of streetcars with buses in Quebec city's transit system.fr [http://www.bilan.usherb.ca/bilan/pages/biographies/796.html University of Sherbrooke, Bilan du Siècle: Lucien-Hubert Borne (1884-1954) Homme politique] ]
