Head Matter:
In the Matter of Lee Stemmer, Appellant, v Barbara Ehlers, Individually and as Town Clerk of the Town of Pompey, et al., Respondents.

Opinion:
Order unanimously reversed without costs and petition granted. Memorandum: The peti tion filed to bring on a permissive referendum pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law § 24 is invalid. The individual sheets were not "fastened" in any manner and thus did not comply with the requirement of that section that separate sheets must be fastened upon filing in order to constitute one petition.
