TUESDAY VOTE
Is VERY LIGHT
ABOUT ONE SEVENTH OF VOTE CAST
Sinclair, Walters and Cuddeford Are New
COuncilmen en-ExclusiOn Amend
ment Carries

|
The vote at Tuesdays municipal elec-
tion was very light. Out of an approx
innate 700 electors but l02 votes were
cast. The charter amendment, provid-
ing for the exclusion of territory east
of Hood river and including the East
Side grade and steel bridge across the
river, was adopted almost unanimously,
carrying by So votes, yes; and seven,
no.
Some question has been raised as to
the legality of this action on the part
of the city. The exclusion, however,
by charter amendment is clearly per-
missable, as was decided by the supreme
court last August in Clatsop county
case.
DR.. H. L. Dumble was reelected
mayor, receiving SO votes. The rest of
the ticket, as nominated at the Novem-
ber primary. was elected as follows:

Walters, rs, and Claude c. Cudeford.

Velopment of two.hne West Side orch

city property. but his country interests
are probably heavier than the invest
