Corporation Counsel Whitney yesterday sent
to the Board Of Police a reply to their request for an
opinion regarding the dispute which has arisen between
the Bureau of Elections and Attorney-General Russell
about the ballot FOR Large. The reply
was regarded By the Police Commissioners as salts

open. After having carefully considered the matter
Dir. Whitney says "if It were an original question.
should uclne to the opinion that the vote should be
upon the s.me ballot with the state ticket" He then
quotes the law which ne says is the only language in the
election law precisely covering the case. 1t is the section
