just why a large vote -was brought out
was due to a number of causes, possibly
the water question contributing- the
most interest In two wards there were
no contests for councilmen. In the " first
Mr. Bartlett had no opposition and the
voter in the third were perfectly satisfied
ith Mr, Dunn and he had no o;psition.
