LOAN PROPOSAL CARRIED. , Considerable interest was evinced by residents of Eastbourne in yesterday's poll, and ! in addition to 'electing members to the' council they were asked to decide on a loan. The loan proposal, which was carried by a majority of 150 votes, is for the purpose of providing a water supply tor the borough. The sum proposed to 'be borrowed is £12,500. : In the election for the council there were twelve candidates for eight vacancies. Mr. W.
