Letters to Editor
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Several of my friends and
neighbors have asked me to be
a candidate for the Rockville Town
Council and | nave agreed to run
for this Office for the following
reasons:
feel that contest in the cleo
tion would be good for the town.
1t is my understanding that there
has not been such a contest for
II years and that in the last
election less than so citizens cast
their votes. Of the 5000 resi-
dents of Rockville there are less
than 500 registered voters.
This is partially caused by the
restrictive franchise imposed on
Rockville in 1927, apparently at
the towns request, limiting regis
trations to qualified voters of the
state who have lived in Rockville
for six months. This does not per-
nit new residents from out of the
state to vote within two and a
half years Of the time they moved
to Rockville. Persons moving to
the town after it is too late to
register for the state elections
must wait A and 1s years in order
to qualify as voter in the town.
Failure to register is also, un-
doubtedly, caused by a letlargy
due to a lack of proper publicity
given registration days. Notices
are buried in the legal advertis-
ing and no candidates or political
parties have publicised these dates.
Rockville is growing up; it has
doubled in size in the last few
years. 1t is necessary for the town
government to grow up with it.
1t is to these ends that | would
work should be elected.
Sincerely yours
Leroy B. Sherman

The average cost per day of a
