,Vote on, The vote taken Iast November on a dining lounge license and a cocktail lounge lioense for Bowmville hian set aside and declared invalic. Judge John DeN. Kennedy hmnded down his judg- m'ent foilowing a hearing in County Court in Cobourg several weeks ago. The three other questions involved in the votmng at the saine election, the liquor store which was approved and the men's and wamen's beverage rooms which were not approved, will stand without change. It is understood that a new election wiil be ordered on the two invalidated questions. The decision on thc £ate will carne .iram provincial authorities. It in aiso, underatood that the Liquor Contrai Board may now proceed with the construction and operation o! a liquor store here. No announcernent has been forthcoming on whcn this will take place. No vote can be hcld for three years froin the date of thc November vating on the beverage roorn questions. Judge Kennedy ruled- that "There were so many irregulari- tics and failures te observe the provisions af The Election Act that in rny opinion the motion af Glenholme Hughes the Relator should be granted." The motion by Mr. Hughes was for an order setting aside and declaring i-. vaiid the vote on Questions 4 and 5 (dining lounge and cock- tail lounge license). Counsel for the Relator was Kenncth G. M. RLoss of Belle- ville. The Respondent, Alick J. Lyle, Returning Officer, was flot represcnted by counsel. Alan H. Strike was counsel for Captain Norman, Cales, Manager ai Uic Negative Votera. In his findinga, Judge Ken- nedy stated: "I have read with interest the argument af counsel for the Manager of the Negative Voters ta the effect that if I hold that the vote is invalid as re- gards Questions 4 and 5, I1rmust hold the vote ta be invalld as regards aIl questions. This ar-_ methad a fotundation of logic my Jriaicton and my owera are Iimited by the Liquar Lcense Act and by The Muni- cipal Act and since the Manager of the Negative Votera has not taken thc procedure specified byl The Municipal Act and in par- ticular Section 172 thereof, i my opinion, I have no jurisdic- tion to deal with such a dlaim in these proceedings." Other than the large number of irregularities and failures ta observe the provisions of The Election Act, Juage Kennedy conmcented on one advertise- ment which was published in The Canadian Statesman by the Negative Votera committee dur- ing the campalgn. «'The advcr- tisernent contains a purperted statement by Cardinal Eeger, Roman Catholic Arclibishop of Montreal, directed against thc opcning oi further cabarets and refera ta "«gaming dens" and "celubs where debauchery pre- vails". Iii' Judgc Kennedy's opinion, this advertisernent cons- tituted an infringement cf Sec- tion 171 of The Election Act which deals with the use cf un- due influence on the votera. "Vote No" Group Issues Stafement on Judgment Given by Judge Kennedy The following statement has1 been released for publication' by the Bowmanville ,Citizens "Vote No" Commnittee. It con- ,4erns te recent judgment given .UÇý Judge J. DeN. Kennedy on "e liquor vote last November, detai]s of which will be found i another colurnn. The state- mient reads: The judgment rcgarding the recent appeal against two ques- tiens of the vote on Liquor Outiets, held iBowmanville on Nov. l9th last, has new been made public. Judge Ken- niedy hia& ruled the vote inval- Id on Questions 4 and 5. naine- ly the Dining Room Lounge Li- cense and thc Cocktail Lounge License.% The Bowmanvilc Citizens uVôte No" Committec would like t. present the foilowing points for the consideration of the Citizens of aur Town:- . 1. If the vote was invalid on Questions 4 and 5 it was invalid on all fîve questions. The re- sults of the entire vote should have been. thrown out. This Was aur argument i Court and As sound logic. 2. On Nov. l9th last you de- ieated Questions 4 and à by substantial margins. Why ask orane;ther vote within a ycar? Dour citizqna change their4 minids that quickly'? Accordingý to law another vote can be tak- en i three years. Isn't that time enough? 3. On the one question where the vote was close,-No. 1-The Liquor Store-won b.) aniargin of only 23 votes, our oninittec decided ta take our efeat in a sporting spirit insteau of askingc for a recount. A recount could have reversed the decision. 4. The Appeal was based en- tirely on tcchnicalities, minor infractions that might occur in any vote of this kind or i any municipal election. It is aur con- sidered opinion that not ane vote was changed by these tecli- nicalities. 5. AUl of the infractions men- tioned above were directed against A. J. Lyle, Returning Officer for thc Vote with the exception af one which charged undue influence in anc ai our advertisements whcre wc quot- cd carrectly a staternent made by Cardinal Leger of Montreal. 6. Finally, what about costs ta' the taxpayers oi Bowman- vill.4. The vote on Nov. 19th last cost th tonapProximately $2,OOO A new vote,- with aur increasing population would probably cost more.

IBuilding Boom On The construction season is opening with a boom in Bownianville. Building ac- tivîty this year is expected to, smash ail records. The first new record has already been set. Building permits issued 4~y the town this April autiforize work valued at over $155,000. This whopping figure repre- sents the most construction ever to be undertaken in the town in an Aprîl. "We are confident that this is an indication that we will have the biggest year ever," commented Works Superintendent Lloyd Quin- ton. 11R certainly looks most promising." Permits issued i the month just, ending totalled $155,425, five times the ligure fQr April of last year. It brought the total for this year to $175,860. This is al- xnost, ý1OO,OOO higher than. in the first four months QI 1958, despite the fact that January,,. and March both dropped f*rm the previous year and no building at ail was undertaken Iast February because of heavy snow. The increase occurred al I April, when total figures showed a jump of $124,104 over the same month, a year ago. "The hard wfnter held things up earlier," remark- ed Mr. Quinton, "but now we're really roUling and we expect activîty wiil continue to increase."l Hubby T-Man?

A seemingly routine and even trivial item of business at the April meeting of Town Council was the official acknowledge- ment that a report on sewage works, storm sewer drainage and water warks for the Town of Bowrnanville had been received fromn the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission. Ini actual fact, the story be- hind this report is an intcresting one, while the report itself will have an important bearing on the town's future physical and economic growth. Here are the facts as gathcred by The States- man staff. Back in 1957 the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce was fortunate ln securing Mr. A. M. Smider, Chairman, and Dr. A. E. Berry, Gencral Manager, ai the Ontario Watcr Resources Commission to address a joint meeting of the Lions, Rotary and Kinsman Clubs o! Bowmanviile. Messrs.

His wife came ta help and after several atternpts to dislodge it with her hands, she tried a foot. Out shot the window like a cork from a champagne bottle. Not expecting it sa soon, the Editor's reactions were too slow. The window crashed against the top of the ladder, breaking bath panes and the frame.

Darlington Township and Bowmanville joined forces in a move to withdraw and set the two municipalities up as a separate high school district. This move had flot been given wide publicity - in fact the negotiations had been conducted under a veil of great secrecy, and in some quarters must have corne as a surprise. On Tuesday at Cobourg, the tWo municipalitled received back.. ing from W. R. D. Stewart, Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education for the Province of Ontario. He out- lined the change of thlnking in the department which had re- sulted from experirnenting with large school districts ana sug- gested that the experirnent had flot worked out successfully; that saal districts were more work- able. à "Durham is a big district high school area and I sec no reason why Port Ho pe and Bowman- ville should be in the smre district," he stated. "«If you think the Durham High School District is too big, I agree with you. There is enough popula- tion, enough assessment to 4iake for three schools. If you want to break up the district, I think the departmnent would agree with you." On his advice, a consultative committee ta study the ramnifica- tions of such a break-up was proposed and adopted by the council. It is understood the members will include Reeve W. D. Higgon, Bewmanville; Reeve Reed Budge of Port Hope, Reeve Lloyd Hlooton of Cavan, plus a representative from the Depart- (Contlnuod op effl men)a Angry.Ratepayers tb Protest Rem-location of Town's Dump In'Soufh Ward Section( Morriso n ln Europe For Mont h Bowmanvlile's "big-leaguer"ý i the world of hockey.
