They failed to secure the required sigma

came law without referendum.
In support oil the measure, the argument
most often advanced was that the foaos OF
Bar Har Dor were UNSAFE Tor the auto ana
that II the motor vehicies were permitted
upon the island, the summer people would
not come. WIN the autos mere, there
would al ways be danger OF horses oecom-
ing frightened on the poor ROADS, ana
serious accidents might result.
"The summer people would not care 10
permit their women and children 10 driVe

were here" was the claim OF the advocates
OF the bill.
