In today's electio n , up for app roval of the voten Is the c ity bud g e t and charter changes. Slightly less than 300 are e lig i ble to vote and only a small per centage of those were expected to MBB their ballots la the c ity e le c tion although considerably more were expected to "he an hand ft* the presidential prim ary Friday. In the c ity election, the C ity H a ll w ill be the location for v o t ing but la the Friday election the H a ll and Brownell's motel w ill be used.
