agenda as item 11(a).
The standard resolution relating to candidates qualification statements

is listed on the agenda as item 11(b). The resolutions are identical
except for the differences in assumption of the costs thereof.
It should be understood that depending on the number of potential candi-

qualifications eliminates the necessity for any monetary investment
and thereby only requires the candidate to secure the signatures of
25 qualified electors. It would, therefore, seem appropriate that
all or some portion of the costs of the candidates' statements be
borne by the candidates.
