Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1907-03-08

The ballot box for town officers was
turned at 2 o'clock and the voting on
license ended at 3 o'clock. The board of
civil authority with assistance drafted
to help, continued to count and figure on
the ballots until $40 in the evening,
lunch having been brought to the hall
for the workers shortly after o'clock.
At $40 Moderator Hoton announced to
some 500 voters who remained in the
hall that there was some question about
the vote, that the board of civil authori-
ty had decided to go over the ballots
again and would meet Wednesday at
9 a. m. to make recount, and that it
would be well to have an adjourned
meeting. He said he would read the
count as it appeared from the first tabu
lation and then gave the figures as fol-
lows:

On motion of II. G. Barber the meeting

dates for other officers had fallen out
side the breastworks. The board of civil
authority worked over the ballots all

mined the standing of candidates as fol-
