Aifull expression of opinion, or in other words, a re- presentative vote, will serve as a future guidance to both the Board of Education and Town Council who sponsor the respec- tive bylaws. A meagre vote will not have this effect. Therefore it `is the duty of every ratepayer to exercise his franchise one way or the other. -4; 2_.._.__.1.-...L 1...-L..- 2.. ......:..L:..... 1.1-- I- .~.n1.- ...-.tA.. nu U1 L115 Ullliyl a The most important factor in assisting the voter to make up his mind is the fact that the Board of Education is solidly behind the Collegiate Bylaw, the Town Council, with the exception of one member, are supporting the Town Hall Bylaw, while the Board of Trade has placed its stamp of approval on both. These men have studied these questions from all angles and are in best position to know what is good and what is not good for the town in which they have their all at stake. They are the men, with some exceptions, most vitally affected, financially and otherwise. TIM, ...::-n nvnnnniihn-n n47 rnnnr-Hr urhpi-hnr Fnr nrivaip nr rivir` DUIHC Unuvylauua, uauau.
