VOTING PLACES
UNUSUALLY QUIET

Exceeding all expectations, Wa
terbury yesterday gave an over
whelming wet vote on the ques-
ton of repeal. The city went Is
to / for repeal, although the most
generous of predictions prior to
the voting allowed for not more
than 10 to l margin. With a
total of 1881 votes cast, 13,435
ballots went for the wet delegates
and only S96 went to the drys. The
delegates at large from the state
and those from the 18th and 18th
senatorial districts of Waterbury
will attend the constitutional con-
vention in Hartford on July 18th.
The vote cast in the city yester-
day was less than the estimates
of officials. 1t was figured that
at least the $1,000 mark would be
reached and, possibly, the 10000

almost 700 short of expectations,

their rights to vote on the ques-

Waterbury's small vote was no
