an I others. Mr. Burden was oilmen foreman of the

make applicable to minor elections. He pointed
out that under this Act, during a Municipal
election. no condi late, or anyone on his behalf,
could spend more that £25, and hs bad t, m .ke

would be found the beet for the welfare of the town
and borough of Poole.
