In turn, both Knee and

forthe long hours spent yesterday in overseeing the voting and counting the ballots.

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.
Registered voters at the
time were estimated to total
between 1150 and 1250. Voter turnout was less than 50
per cent in spite of a contested election with six men
seeking the three seats.
In comparison with the past
two Nevada City Elementary
School District elections,
the vote yesterday was even
more phenomenal, May 19,

State officials indicated the

that they desired to hear lo-.

The opinion ranged from
wholehearted support of the
downtown route to rabid opposition to such a route and
a plea for a bypass. But again,
those who opposed the downtown route were obviously in
the majority.
As a direct result of this
meeting, the council wasrequested to hold an election
