The five ballots were placed in with other ballots and it is impossi ble to determine whether the five voters were yes or no votes If all five votes were yes votes, the result would have been 281 yes to 283 no. The Directors had an option of canvassing the votes as 286 yes and 283 no, and had the election not been officially chal lenged the budget would have been declared legally adopted. The aternate choice was to de clare the election void and hold second election. This was the alternative selected by the Dir ectors beause they felt that ev en though the live votes may not have affected the election it was possible that had these five ballots not been cast the budget could have been voted down. "This was a particularly dif ficult decision to make as it Is quite possible that the budget would have passed had the five ballots not been cast. "However, the Directors felt that since there was a reason able question regarding the val idity of the election, in all fair ness to the voters the decision was made to hold a second elec tion." Legal notice of election for the June 3 vote is printed else where in this paper.
