A heavy voter turnout was reported by 11 a.m. this morning in the annual school election. Sunny skies and summerlike temperatures probably contributed to the number of voters. By 11 a.m. today, 3,383 Ann Arbor School District voters had cast their ballots to decide the fate of two millage issues and a five-part bonding issue. Ann Arbor voters are also electing three new trustees to the Board of Education. The 3,383 figure is quite close to the number of voters - 3,446 - who had voted by the same nour last year. In 1969, some 19,000 voters went to the polls on a day which was also sunny and warm. Some 25,000 voters are expected at the polls this year.
