Raider spirit high for homecoming
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — When the ballots cast in the Sept. 10 primary election for the City Council seat in Ward 5 were recounted yesterday, the results confirmed, as Dave Gammon believed, that former mayor Tom Tardif received three writein votes, qualifying him for a place on the general election ballot in November — if he wants it. City Clerk Mary Reynolds has written to Tardif, who has yet to indicate his intentions, advising him that he has 10 days to decide whether or not to be a candidate for City Council in the general election on November 5. Tardif could not be reached after the recount, but Gammon said that he told him he intended call at City Hall and inform Reynolds of his decision some time today. see Ward 5 page 16
