It is respect fully submitted
evidence of such public demand
for new Itquor outlets that the
25`. petition provided' for in

posed with.
On the contrary your' petition-

and that additional ones. in

would serve but to convince
those under 21 years of acs,e of
the complete acceptance of a!
crease in the number of aleo-

Your petitioners must repeat,
therefore, that, in their opin-
ion. only the signatures of n%
of the persons on the voterS
list can justify the crowning of
necessarily heavy local financial
commitments with additional'
election expense.
The above is respectfully sub-
