To vote on any measure, stamp a cross (+) in the voting square after the word "Yes''
or after the word "No." All marks, except the cross (+) are forbidden. All distinguishing
marks or erasures are forbidden and make the ballot void.
If you wrongly stamp, tear or deface this ballot, retum it to the inspector of election
and obtain another.

ARGUMENT FOR CITY MEASURE
The following argument for the city measure to be submitted at the general municipal election
to be held in the City of Carlsbad on April 8, 1958, has been filed with the City Clerk pursuant to Article
4, Chapter 3, Division 4 (Sections 1820 to 1824, inclusive) of the Elections Code of the State of Califor-
nia :
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSITION
TO AMEND THE CONTRACT OF THE CITY TO
BUY THE CARLSBAD MUTUAL WATER COMPANY
The undersigned members of the City Council of the City of Carlsbad urge all citizens to vote "YES" on
the proposition to make unnecessary the test suit, as now required by the contract between the City and
the Mutual Water'SCompany. The purpose of requiring the suit was to test the validity of the contract
and proceedings preliminary to the City's purchase of the Water Company, in order that the bonds
approved last December 17th would be more saleable. Our bond Attorneys now inform us that the suit
is not necessary; the bonds can be legally issued and sold immediately without going through with the
suit.
The advantages of voting "YES" on this proposal, thereby making the suit unnecessary are:
(1) The bonds can be sold sooner, thus making possible quicker payments to shareholders;
(2) The contract of purchase can be put into effect sooner, thus providing a unified water sys-
tem for the City of Carlsbad; and
(3) The cost of the suit (estimated at $7,500) will be saved by the City.
