Petition Withdrawn On Atlantic Tax Election
Messrs Rattenborg Ross and Judd withdrew the petition asking for a tax election to vote on a five per cent levy for the southern extension of the A N S Railway. The remonstrants claimed minor heirs and resident freehold taxpayers affected the count, but the petitioners sought a clear record for financing the road. The withdrawal followed debates over legality and equal treatment amid broad campaign misstatements.
