A total of 5052 voters (about 12 per cent of the City's registered voters) signed the petition, according to the City's official signature count completed last weekend.

Acting City Clerk Paul Healy certified the results of the signatures count yesterday, and has sent the petition to the City Council which now has 20 days either to accept it without amendments or put it up to the voters' decision in November.
The council is now in its summer recess and a special meeting will have to be called to act upon the rent control petition. Yesterday, there was speculation that a meeting might be called for later this week.
The council will probably meet Monday, August 11 on the rent control petition. Since Mayor Walter J. Sullivan is out of the country, city councillor Alfred E. Vellucci who serves as the City's vicemayor, will preside at the meeting.
