In turn, both Knee and Paine drew praise from numerous residents in the city for the preliminary work they put in on the election, and forthe long hours spent yesterday in overseeing the voting and counting the ballots. Size of the vote will be a topic of conversation for some time, i Size of the city vote seems even more remarkable when. it is compared with the 530 votes that were cast April 12 for three city council posts.

In comparison with the past two Nevada City Elementary School District elections, the vote yesterday was even more phenomenal, May 19, 1959, 151 voters in the whole of the elementary school district voted, Although there was no contest in the local district, the same ballot had voters cast ballots in the elementary school election, Both voter turnouts were less' ways that the people of Nevada City would like areview of the freeway route, The’ council remained neutral on the subject, The summer months found the state in the process of a review.

But again, those who opposed the downtown route were obviously in the majority.
