In eanvassins the votes last Tuesday
night the Town Trustees found that the
returns we're irregular. The law provides
that tho tally list shall be made with ink.
and that 1t shall bo properly certified 10
by tho Judges and Inspectors Of Election.
This WA not complied with In any case.
In the First Ward the tally Was kept with
. pencil and was not certified TO by any Of
tho Judges or Inspectors. The returns
from the Second Ward were properly GER
titled to, but the tally marks and figures
were In pencil. From American Flat tho
vote wa returned with ink. but none Of
tho Judges or inspectors certified 10 the
correctness Of the count. The election
would undoubtedly 10 declared null and
void II any one wished 10 contest Il. and
the expense OF . new election would DO
entailed. Judges and inspectors Of Elec-
ton cannot DO too careful in making their
reports. They should remember that Re
turning Boards have coat this country 4
great deal Of trouble during the past year.
and that q slight mistake In matters Of
this kind may prove . great detriment TO
the community.
