S. ATKEY - - ; - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1948 VOTE AS YOU LIKE, BUT VOTE LECTORS Of the( Town of Clinton and neighboring townships will have the opportunity on Monday next, January 5, of going to the polls to provide'a true expression of democracy at work. In line with the precepts of tihe national organiza- tion, Clinton and District Chamber of, Commerce is back- ing a movement to get out the vote, believing Mist the pwbli'e interest anay be served best by having a large ma- jority of the eligible voters take 'advantage of their Fran- chise. Efforts of the Chamber to this end should be ap- preciated by the rank and file of tihe citizens. If we should wake up some fine morning to discover that our cherished right to exercise our franchise had been taken from us overnight, we (should be greatly disturbed and probably worse. But the very people who would kick most about not possessing the franchise, probably would be those who would not bother going to the polls this coming Monday. Isn't it true? ; By the way, if you are anxious to vote but find your name is not on the Voters' List, you should consult Town Clerk M. T. Corless. Under certain conditions, and if you are eligible, your name may beadded to the Voters' List even on Election Day. This might apply-parti"oularly to recent arrivals in town, © © ©. SEWERAGE ADMINISTRATION BYLAW THE BYLAW on which the electors will vote on Monday next, January 5, is a little different than the ordinary run as it is not a "money" Bylaw — like the Bandbylaw a year ago — but only an admriniistra tion bylaw. If passed by ,the people, the Public Utilities Commission, instead of the Town Council, will administer the new sewerage system and sewage disposal plant. In this column a fortnight ago, The NEWS -RECORD pointed out the advantages of having the Commission, in stead of Council, operate the system. The main considera- tion is that the 'Commission possesses the necessary ma- chinery, in the office and outside, for carrying on. 'On the other hand, the Town Council is not so equipped, either inside or outside, and does not possess facilities for col - looting sewerage rentals in the same way as the Commis- sion. The Commission consists of three men, all elected by the people. The Mayor serves because of his position as Mayqr, rwhile each of the other ,two Commissioners is elected for two years. The present Coinmi.ssion consists of Mayor A. J. McMurray, W. E. Perdue and H. R. Hawkins. ©10 EDITORIAL COMMENT Don't forget to write it "1948"! And it's a Leap Year, too. Judging by the attendance at Monday's nomination meetings, the ladies are not greatly interested in muni- cipal politics, although they constitute half the electorate. This should be remedied.
