Absent- Underwood. Called to order 8:00 P.M. Purpose- Official Canvas of Election Results.

For Councilman Anderson-2~. Thompson-237. Taylor- 221 in one Tally book and 227 in the other Tally book. The discrepancy in the count on Taylor caused the Council and Mayor to postpone certification of the results until all legal questions are answered. Mary Brennan, Senior Judge of the election was present and stated that confusion at the polls caused the election officials to become confused and may have caused the difference in count in the Tally books. McDevitt asked her if there was any confusion during the counting of the votes and she answered "no". Hillman announced that he would call for a recount.? After discussion the Council and Mayor decided to put all the election books back in the Ballot Box with the Ballots, lock the Ballot Bax and have it taken to the Sherrif's Office, to be kept in custody there until the next regular meeting and thus give the Attorney's time to answer the legal questions involved. Motion was made by Buchanan, seconded by Henry, that this meeting be recessed till we have more information. All in favor of the motion. All candidates are to be oresent at the next regular meeting on November 1~, 1967.
