More ii Wi B in-Off Election .^{Cont'd from front page) mended In 1947, it became neces-. sary to have a majority to win a city elective office. The ques tion was bandied about during the 1947 election campaign, with the group supporting the amend ments claiming a second r*c* could be arranged under t he state's general statutes.

C. Wilson, B. Hudson Bridges and the late Tracy Mo Ginnis. Mr. Moss was high man, but he lacked amajority.
