Supplemental Bond Issue Approved 3-1 In Light Turnout
Hillside voters approved a supplementary 225000 bond for the four point school construction program by about three to one with 930 yes and 351 no votes. Turnout was significantly lower than the 1950 June referendum, and the measure passed at six of seven polling places with Coe Avenue School the only dissent. George Washington School delivered the largest yes total, Calvin Coolidge and Saybrook showing solid support, Vacations drew fewer voters, and heat plus machine logistics shaped the day. The Good Government Association urged participation amid organized support while observers watched returns at the School Administration Building guarded by district clerk Mrs. Jean A. White.
