LIGHT VOTE CAST
IN TOWN ELECTION
Residents Show Little Interest in
Choice Of Officers
ALL DISTRICTS DECREASE
Many Fishing License Issued BY
Town Clerk Woodruff - Annual
Report Presented to Voters-First
SeleCtman Confident-Itenls.

One Of the lightest votes in the
history of the town Of Berlin will
have been cast today, it is expected
by those prominent in political cir
cIes. The voting this morning was
light in all districts and many resi-
detns we're so disinterested in the
annual town election, which is talk
ing place today, that they had for
gotten that they were supposed 10
cast their ballots for the officers.
The first woman to cast her BAL
lot in the second district, kensing-
ton, was Mrs. Laura Austin, who is
also one OF the oldest. If not the
oldest, woman voter in town. In the
first district the first woman to cast
her ballot was Miss Myrtle Prior,
while the first man TO step TO the
polls was Maurice Molumphy. The
first district polling place is In the
Town hall, Joseph Pelletier was the
first man to vote in the Kensington
district.

we're cast in the Berlin district up
to noon today. Lester F, Deming.
moderator, stated today that the
district will be lucky If 100 votes are
polled during the entire day. In
Kensington the total vote cast was
195, this being about 40 per cent
less than usual. according TO Philip
Pagan, moderator in that district. No
report was received from East Ber-
lin, but it is believed that this dis
trict also experienced decided
slump. The fact that the weather
was inclement was also big factor
in keeping some people away from
the voting places. In the third dis
trict Hobart l.. Honiss acted as
moderator.
The polls closed al O'Clock. al
though at tine time the forms were
closed for the suburban page Of the
Herald. no report had been received
as to how the election came out.
It is thought that the republicans
will make a cicsn sweep In the
town. as usual. II is customary
each year for many residents to con-
cede the election of any candidates
the republicans put on the ticket.
However, there is chance that the
democratic faction. aided by outlaw
republican votes, might clamp the
ticket, although this chance is ad-
mittedly a long one.
The entire town was exceedingly
quiet for election day. The polling
places we're deserted, except for the
officials, during the greater part of
the day. Both republican and
democratic cars we're out early
stirring up votes and these vehicles
were working until the time the
polls closed.
Town Reports Issued

The report contains much that will
be of interest 10 the residents Of
