The third offering was a leap year proposal, and high were the hopes that the hard heart of Crystal Lake would yield, and that a union of the two villages would take place. But Nunda was handed a lemon, given a jolt. and told to Skidoo, 23 for What do you kuow about the election last Tuesday? Well, here's the figures: Nunda- For annexation $6, against 82. Majority in favor, 4. Crystal Lake For annexation 119, against 155.

Majority against, 36. This is the' smallest majority ever given in favor of annexation by Nunda, and a larger majority against by Crystal Lake than was given last year, but not as large as the vote of 1904. Below we give the votes in 1904, 1307 and 1308: Nunda C. Lake 1904- -For. .103 Against ..148 -45 107-For.

....130 Against 79. 1908 ..86 119 Against 82. -36 The chief desire of many of the Nunda voters is simply to end the confusion of the two different names for the twin villages, which is a perpetual nuisance, and they had hoped to unite the two under the one name of Crystal Lake. Failing in that, many are now in favor of merely changing the name of Nunda to that of "North Crystal Lake," which would. they believe, work out to practically the same effect as though there was only one village, as the prefix "North." except for official purposes, would seldom be used.
