The returns made by the County
Election Commissioners to the Board
of Supervisors at the February meet
ing, of the Special Election held at
Highland Farm on Bond Issue,
showed the vote as follows: For the
Bond Issue IL, Against the Bond
Issue IL. Total voted 49, majority
for the Bond Issue 8. There we're a
few sealed votes which the Commits
sioners passed on throwing out and
counting them owing to their merits
from the records. There is move
ment to contest such election and
the matter was laid over by the Su-
pervisors to be disposed of at the
March term. There is a claim by
the opposers of the bond issue that
there were some disqualified ones
who we're allowed to vote. The
commissioners say that this possibly
came about through the records
showing the same name by initials
in one place and bv given name in
another. All this will be given OPP
portunty to be looked into when the
Supervisors go into hearing of the
matter and nobody particularly at
fault as we understand it.
