GO TO POLLS TUESDAY Incumbent Village Trustees of The Incorporated Village of

running for reelection this Tuesday, March 15 in the first vil­lage

the trustee posts and the mayoralty seat were for two year
terms. By resolution passed on June 7, 1965, subject to a
permissive referendum, which never came about, four year
terms and biannual elections were established. In order to bring
about the biannual election, the two trustee and the mayor's
posts next year will be for five > ear term and thereafter as
four year terms.

percentage are expected to vote mostly because of a no contest

two terms of two years each.
