27,231, according to the present tahu-
lation. His majority over David A.
Henderson will be close TO 10000 In

only a bare majority, instead OF two
thirds vote, as required by the pro-
posal TO increase the clty's bonding
limit. and Il received majority or
between 1000 and 10000 votes. The
result Is largely due to the work OF for

Earle and the Board of Commerce.
