Amendment No 1 passes amid sparse voter turnout
In 1911 Pennsylvania voters approved Amendment No 1 increasing Philadelphia's debt limit despite only about a quarter of the state electorate casting ballots. The statewide gubernatorial vote totaled 998000, with 140647 in favor and 88965 against, as supporters hailed the move toward needed municipal improvements with a new administration. The column also notes local charity meals and donations to United Zion Home, a birthday tribute to W U Hensel, hog cholera losses near Manheim, and the reappointment of Benjamin F Grosh as deputy county treasurer.
