Two hundred heavily armed police and two let yons were present out- side the meeting hall.
Mr. C. S. Franklin, Chairman of the S.M.C. disclosed inst night that op- proximately 14,500 rate-payers were not eligible to vote, compared with' 3,300 last year. The large increase indicates the extent to which large properties have been split up for the purpose of obtaining more votes.
