Attorney Caroihers
Fears They re Lost

Corporation Counsel Howard
carothers said his office WAS Of
the opinion Wednesday that the
oity's millags for civilian defense
and allied purposes had been lost.
However" he said. we
are checking oser the posi-
hilitie. Of a broader internre-
fation on the relationship Of
the general election vote Ia
this proposition.
The law distinctly provides
that extra millage propositions be
submitted al special election.
Accordingly, so far as the vote on
this millage il concerned. We are
inclined to believe that only those
who voted one way or another on
the proposition actually took part
in the special election regardless
of how many persons voted for
city officials in the general cleo
ton.
As We view IL now. about
$500 more votes were needed
To validate the special election
proposition. II all $500 had
been cast against the PROPOSE
non, II still would have
carried.
1T Is possible this question III
the general election vote, which
was more than ample. can be
raised IN a friendly test suit. IL
could be argued that every person
who voted for public safety COM
missioner, for example. had before
him also the special election bal
lot and to that extent partici-
pated in the special election
whether he actually pulled a lever
down one way or the other on the
levy question.
I'VE are not inclined tn
place much faith In the out
come. however. and NJ far -
we ean see. the council Will
have To devise some other
method of meeting civilian de-
tense expenses.
TT may mean the council will
have to issue emergency warrants
for those expenses which become
absolutely necessary. and then
levy next year to reimburse the
general fund.
The law prohibits submission
Of the special levy proposition
more than once IN calendar year.
50 that we cannot go hack TO the
voters again next fall"
