who cast Jallot in tfle election ia
yored bonds, Che necessary two
thirds Of the total registration WAS
rot polled, and Consequently the is
sue was lost, failing short between
~ and 50 votes.
rne exact number OF votes cast
in the county is not yet known. as
all OF the precincts have not been
heard from. but very Lew votes were
polIed outslue the city
In Brunswick 3S7 votes We're
polled OF which 384 were for bonds
and against. At St. Simon Z votes
we're poIled, an fayoring bonds, *
is not thought that more than 10
votes were polled at the other pre-

384 visited the polls.

None OF the members Of the coun-
" commissioners seemed to be In
a position to discuss the failure OF
the voters to authorize the issue yes
terday afternoon and when question
ed on the subject. they stated that
they could not say just at presen'
what would be done.
The county is compelled to have
have the money. and It will be Sc
cured either by a bond issue or by
levying a special tax. It is thought
however, that another election will
be called and the second effort VIII
be made to get two-thirds vote in
favor Of the bonds. If the voters

pressed regret that the voters fail
