On one side, the City of Abbotsford supported the proposal by spending large amounts of money to advertise the benefits of the system. On the opposite side were the electors and groups of people opposed to the grand proposition. Their means appeared to be small by comparison, using only small signs and word of mouth. Many voters were torn between deciding on which position to support - either the position of most of their elected representatives and the written material circulated to all taxpayers or the position of those opposed to the project.  Some decided by looking in the sky! The final result was a three to one rejection of the referendum.
