To the Members of the City Council :
A petition for a referendum under Section 8 of the City Charter,
filed ATovember 13, 1972, has been checked by this office. The petition
consisted of 512 pages with 8591 names. Of these, the followin� were
re jBCted for the reasons given:
29 names rejected - certificate not signed or notarized
106 " t' - circulator witnessed own signature
2gl r� �r _ circulator not a resident of St .Paul
18 " " - notarized in blank
24 '� " - circulator used husbands first name
19L� " " - no notary stamp or expiration date
1 " " - no address given
54 " '� - duplicate si�natures
42 " " - signatures appearing signed by someone else
306 " " - signatures of women using husbands first name
662 " " - not registered at address given
�3? " " - outside city or printed signature
5 '� " - identification of initialed signature not sure
1208 " " - circulator did not sign certificate
1098 " '� - certificate signed by other than circulator
1 '� " - petitioner witnessed own signature
11 Total re jected
We f ound that 4l�75 names were valid registered voters . As a valid
petition would require 7280 signatures, that being eight per cent of the
90,993 votes cast for Mayor at the last election, the petition appears
not to contain a sufficient number of valid signatures.
Very truly yours,
