whom the papers were mailed to
obtain a ballot. _
17 Percent of Ballots Returned
The return of ballots, though
smaller than had been hoped for,
represented slightly more than 17
percent of those. sent out, which is
a rather large percentage consider-ing
that votes had to be cut out,
filled in and mailed by first-class
postage to The Leader office.
In some cases names were listed
in an effort to have a family credit-ed
with several votes. However.
Inasmuch as no provision had been
made lor allowing more tnan one
^vote per ballot, and the committee
considered It would be unfair to
others to do otherwise, only -one
vote was credited for e~a.cn ballot.
Several postal card votes were
received but these we»re ignored
by the committee. , ,. .
Some ballots contained com-ments
indicating the sentiments of
"The voters, one wa"S or the other,
but these too were ignored, inas-much
as poll was announced as
a secret vote, and the committee
-was Interested only In the number
of votes cast. —

widespread reduction in the work
week to five days, as noted by this
Commission in Its decision of June

Proposed Rate Increases
It is proposed to price these
tickets in such a manner as to pro-duce
25 percent additional revenue
from commutation traffic. The new
restricted monthly commutation
ticket would be priced 20.97 percent
higher than the present 6.0-trlp

Construction of tlio sower sys-tem

conditions permit. The concern
which is to provide the pipe has
promised to begin deliveries in

The Sewer Commission awarded
contracts for the project to the
T. & T. Contracting Co., ol Brook-lyn,
nl a meeting Friday night in
the Municipal Building, which sub-mitted
the lower of two sets ol'
bids for doing the complete job.
The bids were $442,455 for the lay-ing
of the sewers and $125.050 lor

than the T. & T. concern on Its

it was advisable to have all the

In some cases names were listed in an effort to have a family credit-ed with several votes. However. Inasmuch as no provision had been made lor allowing more tnan one ^vote per ballot, and the committee considered It would be unfair to others to do otherwise, only -one vote was credited for e~a.cn ballot. Several postal card votes were received but these we»re ignored by the committee. , ,. . Some ballots contained com-ments indicating the sentiments of "The voters, one wa"S or the other, but these too were ignored, inas-much as poll was announced as a secret vote, and the committee -was Interested only In the number of votes cast. — Now Up to Vlltage Board The Leader was not Interested In" any route for the bus Mm;, It only sought to ascertain whether a majority favored or opposed buses for the urea.
