THE LOAN POLL

LIKELY-TO BE LIGHT

Unless the voting is considerably heavier in the late afternoon than it was this morning and over the lunch hour, the poll on the loan proposals today will be light. However, the usual experience has-been that a great many voters leave their calls at the polling places until just about the last thing of the day and votes begin to pile up after five o'clock. This ■ morning the returning officers had very little to do, though there were a good many lunchhour voters at the city booths. ' The first counts should: be completed by about eight o'clock this evening, and will be announced at the Town Hall,and at the "Evening Post" office. In a further statement issued'last night, the chairman of the executive of the Wellington Ratepayers' Association, Mr. H..H. Miller, said he would like to correct an apparent misapprehension on the part of the Mayor, who referred to "the' spokesman" of .the Ratepayers' Association, as though the association's earlier statement had been the work of one man. Actually, it was the compilation. of a sub-com-mittee which had been setup by the executive for the purpose.
