Out of 20S cities and towns, rs gave
license majorities. Perhaps the greatest
surprise Is Burlington's change from IL
cense to no-hcense by majority of 43I
votes. This is said to be due to dis
satisfaction with the way things have
been conducted during the past year or
so. Rutland, the second city in the
state, remains in the Yes" column, but
by a reduced majority. Barre shifts
from no-license to license Montpelier

Another surprise is the change in Col
