Carrying every one of the three precincts, Mayor l.

Judson, himself six times Mayor, by 320 votes, and every Concilmanic candirate on the Mayors ticket ran far ahead of their rivals.
 The bond issue was put across with slightly more than 79 per cent of the vote cast, and the Admin istration was given a free hand to deal with the Juneau Water Company by an overwhelming ma- jority
 Vote Is Record
 The vote was the largest ever cast in a municipal election, total ing 1,465, or 199 less than the registration which, also, was the heaviest in history. Precinct No. I, where 773 were registered, cast 690 votes; No. 2, Al out of 5O3 registrations; and No. 3, 334 out of 388.
 Mayor Goldstein led his ticket in every precinct and boiled the highest vote of any candidate. His total was 888 to 568 for MT. Judson. His biggest majority was in the First Precinct which went for him 435 to 255, an advantage of 180 votes He swept his home pre- cinct, carried a year ago by MT. Judson, by 116 votes, the vote having been 270 to 160. And his biggest triumph was in carrying Precinct No 3, MT Judson's home precinct, TIT to 1858, a majority of "A votes.
 Messerschmidt High Councilman
 Henry Messerschmidt was the high man in the race for City Council He received an aggregate of 754 to top Ralph H. Beistline, second, by five votes, and Wallis s. George, third, by 26 votes MT. George was 205 votes ahead of G. E. Krause, high for Councilman on the Judson ticket. Ludwig Nelson, second man in that ticket, was 56 votes behind MT Krause, and Hugo Peterson, low man on the Judson slate, boiled only 296 votes.
 John E. Green, handicapped by running as an Independe t, polled 453 votes. Exactly 101 ,her votes were cast for him that could not be counted as the voters marked their ballots for four Councilmen which caused them to be thrown out as far as the City Council was concerned. In Precinct No. l, 40 ballots were so spoiled, and 2l each in No. 2, and No. 3. However, even had it been possible to count them for MT. Green he would have been far behind the candidates on the Administration slate.
 Ballot Was Legal While there was some criticism of the position accorded MT. Green on the official ballot. it was drawn up in strict accord with the re- quirements of the City Ordinance. That specifically declares that the name of any independent candidate for the Council shall be placed in the upper right hand corner of the ballot without any designation. That was the form followed.
 Grover c. Vim, unopposed for a three-year term as Director of the School Board, received the highly complimentary vote of 724 out of the 1,465 cast.
 l The bond issue carried 597 to l155. This is well above the two thirds vote required to validate the issue.
 By vote of 7l5 to 134, the voters gave the Administration mandate to revoke the franchise held by the Juneau Water Com pany if that firm, after reasonable time, does not. in the judgment of the City Council. comply with the terms of it's franchise.
