Here are the results.

 

42,177 voted to change

22,154 voted to stay with strong mayor

 

If we voted to change it back in 1947 to be effective January 1, 1950.    Why can’t the voters of today have the same opportunity as the voters in 1947 to decide their form of government??     Can you believe the number of people who voted!!!  Over 64,000 people voted in 1947!!

 

 

PS  Thanks to City Clerk Dave Rushford and Nikolin Vangjeli for digging this up for us.
