Norwich bulletin., 1911-10-03

towns and some large ones today held
their annual meetings, and at 40 OF
them the interest centered in the vote
on the license question. In effect the
vote was in 4S of the towns, as in the
Stony Crek district of Branford no
license vote was cast, which, however,
old not change the town from the IL
cense column. The temperance people
got the better of the argument by net
gain of two towns. including Stoning-
ton, which through a clericIl error in
the Third voting district has been
recorded as license town. but Which
upon corrected figures tomorrow will be
in the no license column

Strong Endorsement of Amendments.
The towns also voted with one or two
exceptions on the two constitutional
sembly, the first being to give the lieu
tenant governor the full power OF the
governor in case of disability, and the
second placing a limitation on the
length of the sessions of the legislature
and both of these amendments We're
carried so far as the towns could do
it by vote which is fully II to /.
The cities which are yet to vote on the
