V. oí o. Library- ON A G A IN , OFF A G A IN Bracker’s Postcard Poll Is Delayed The po»t card poll, which w u to solve the dlfflcu llie. confronting the mayor and tha council ha» been tempor­ arily, at least shelved, ac­ cording to Dr. W illiam Brackar. originator of tha plan. Brackar had plannad to to »and raturn postcard» to all qualified volar» In tha city asking tham to indlcata whether they wara with tha mayor or w ith tha council. Than, according to hl» plan tha mayor or tha council would lislan to this expres- ■ion of desire from tha pao- pla and act accordingly. Reason for dropping tha poll was givan by Brackar a» tha fact that today there are so many conflicting stor­ ies floating about that no clt- isan could faal Ilka making a competent analysis.
