A CORRECTION BOND ISSUE WAS LOST Our attention has been called to an error in a recent issue, where we stated that the §25,000 bond issue for water extent ion had pass¬ ed by a safe majority. Under the old law the vote was sufficient to have carried the issue, hut under our present registration law, it is neccessary for one-half the regis¬ tered voters of the town to vote for a bond issue for it to pass. As there are 54 2 registered voters here it would have been necessary for the issue to get 272 votes, whereas it received 2 30 votes, and failed to pass by 42 votes. Numbers of our c itizens were un¬ familiar with the law as it stands at present, or they would have put forward greater efforts to secure the much needed extention of our fire protection.
