City Hall Polls

indications today pointed to a heavy vote Tuesday when
Dentonites will decide the fate of a proposed municipal
charter written after nine months of study.
The polls will open at 8 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. in the
Central Fire Station at City Hall. Only requirement for
voting is a poll tax receipt or exemption held by a resident
of the city. It’s not necessary to own property to vote.
Just how many of the 5,044 qualified voters will go to
the polls is not known, of course, but veteran election judge
Jewell Smith and his staff are bracing for a busy day. They
urged residents to vote as early as possible to avoid con
to commute from their homes
throughout this thickly populated
area, hold part - time jobs at
home and still get a college edu-
cation. Thus no great expense is
incurred in housing these student*
outside the necessary school
rooms One of the problems facing
students who attend either of the
Denton colleges, and some of the
other state schools, Is the shortage
of part - time employment avail-
able to them and the additional
cost of room and board that can
be curtailed to a great degree when
they live at home. These economic
facts of life are very important to
most students and their parents.
“All indications are that there is
a rising tide of students looming on
every horizon in fact, statistics
show that by 1965-70 there will be
more than twice the present num-
ber of students seeking entrance to
our Texas colleges. and our state
institutions will be called upon to
