GRAND TOTALS.
There was not even bare majority

There was not even bare majority
for the ordinance In any district. The
three precincts of TrladclphIa that
have reported show n majority in that
; district OF l6 but the three missing pre-
cIncts will undoubtedly more than wipe
out that margin. The ordinance re-
ceived a majority In only six Of the
sixty precincts OF the county. three OF
these being on the Island, one In Union
and two In Triadelphla, but In only two
was the majority the required three
ffths Of the vote. one Of these latter
being Elm Grove In Trladelphia, and
the other the Florida street precinct on
the Island.
The opponents to the ordinance got In
their hardest blows In Centre district,
where there were but 175 votes for the
ordinance and AS against. this OF
course not Including Liberty district In
the remote section of the county not
touched By the proposed road, where the
vote was practically unanimous against
