PLAN REJECTED
HILLSBORO— Hillsboro’s long-
awaited and much-discussed year-
around supervised recreation pro
gram fell flat on its face a week
ago Friday when city voters re
jected by a vote of 3 to 2 mar
gin a $9300 tax levy which would
have carried the program through
its first year.
Only eight per cent of the regis
tered voters went to the polls in
one of the most important issues
ever placed before Hillsboro voters.
It took just five per cent of the
city’s registered voters to kill the
proposal.
