Women's beverage rooms had a majority of 55.1 percent, but this was short of the required 60 percent. Men's bev er age rooms were approved by 48.9 percent of the voters. Despite a quiet election, there was a large turnout at the polls. Some 70.9 percent of the eligible' voters cast ballots, compared to 65 percent in 1963. There were many blank ballots and in some polls there were a large number of spoiled ballots. In one poll there were 22 ballots spoiled for various reasons. Once again, the north end poll led the way in favor of more liquor outlets. They had voted "wet" on .all. questions in 1963 , and when the vote was defeated it led to the humorous suggestion that f fFrancistown" would se- cede from the corporation. In the matter of the cocktail lounge, 100 of the 110 ballots cast north of the river approved. Even in the vote on men's bev- erage rooms the affirmative out- numbered the negative by 80 to 23. Twelve persons took advant- age of the advance poll and two ballots were opposed to men's beverage rooms and liquor with meals and only one against the other three questions. One of the advanced poll ballots was spoil- ed and some left blank.

Men's and women's beverage rooms were defeated again, but both made substantial gains over the 1963 outcome. The question of liquor with meals received the most sup- port with 68.2 percent in favor. This compared with 52.3 percent in the last vote.

Contractors will have three weeks to get their bids in and after the winning tender has been approved by council, there is an- other one-week period for the contractor to decide whether he wants the job. It's expected the work will get underway early in July. In other business at the spe- cial meeting, council: Decided they would continue to charge a $2.00 frontage charge to owners applying for permits to build houses in Dow subdiv- ision.
