The City Clerk reported 41 absentee ballots, with 4 of them beine questionable
and requested the City Attorney's opinion on these 4. The first ballot was ruled
irregular and should be thrown out as the signature did not appear on the ballot
as required. On the second ballot, the City Clerk reported that no application
had been received but upon opening the ballot envelope the applic4tion was found
and in proper order, but no fI"eeholder affidavit was included, and therefore ~he
ballot was ruled out. The thi~d ballot did not have a freeholder affidavit
enclosed nor had it been received and theI"efore the City Attorney ruled this
ballot out also. On the fourth ballot. it had been notarized but not witnessed,
therefore the Attorney ruled the application and ballot invalid. The 37 other
absentee ballots were openadland tabulated.
The Clerk gave the total report of the absentee ballots:
