Budget Election
Dated for June 3
(Continued from page 1)
not legal votes. With the total
budget vote 286 yes and 283 no,
the five invalid votes could at
feet the election results. 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.
