ONLY 210 VOTERS
EXPRESS OPINION
AT THE ELECTION.
Vote was The Smallest Cast in This City in Many Years-In Three
Wards Several Ballots were Rejected—The Fourth Ward Gave
a Majority Against The Change—Vote was Very Light
Throughout the State.
__
Perth Amboy pave n majority in
favor of the constitutional amend
ments. It is doubtful, however, what
the result would have been had the
voters turned out. It was, perhaps,
the smallest election held in this city
in many years. In all six wards there
were but 210 ballots cast. The election
officers grew weary in waiting ana
were glad when the polls closed. It
did not take them long to count the
result.
That the’ voters did not understand
how to fix their ballot in many in
stances is evident from the number of
ballots rejected.
The vote by wards is as follows:
First ward, forty-five cast, thirty-nine
for and six against. Second ward,
thirty-eight cast, twenty-five for and
thirteen against. Third ward,twenty
five cast, twenty one for and four
against. Fourth ward, fifty-three
k cast, thirteen for and thirty-four
against. Six were rejected. Fifth
Warn iwuuij'iiwu i.aoi, uaiocu iui
four against. Eiglit were rejected.
Sixth ward, twenty-two cast, ten for
j /and nine against with three rejected.
