CONWAY — A town meeting warrant article asking voters for about $400,000 to build public bathrooms in North Conway, which was in a 581-581 stalemate following a tie vote at the April 12 election, ended up passing by one vote following a lengthy recount Monday. However, the bathrooms aren’t a done deal until a five-day window for possible appeals has elapsed.
On Monday, following a 2½-hour recount at town hall, Town Clerk Louise Inkell reported the results: 582 yes votes to 581 no votes. There were also 54 blank votes and one ballot where the intent couldn’t be determined.
