To vote for a question make a cross (X) between the number and the word Y MS, and to vote against n question make a cross between the number and the word NO. Any citizen residing within the city limits is eligible to vote If reg istered. If not any citizen can he sworn in at the polls. City commissioners today put forth n strong upi"'"! to nil litl-7J-HH of Hie city to vole, whet her Ihey he In I'uvor of or against I'.ie pro)M)sed measures. The coiiiniis iiifssloiirrs desire to fully deter mine the sentiment of Ihe citi zens hi reference to the Tour pro I m tsed issues w ha te er nn y the election results. The general feeling seems to be that the voters will not turn down the four issues. Arguments and public meetings in the past two weeks liave pointed t hat the ma jority of the citizens favor the nieusures although tin real senti ment cannot be positively know n until ull votes aru counted. Firemen Want .Measure PasMil IjikI evening the members of the La Grande Volunteer Fire Oepurt meitt met hi the rlty hall building and passed resolutions favoring the measure, to further equip and house the firn department and ap pointed Fire Chief C. O. Murehlsou and Assistant Chief t Snodgrnsa to prepare an appeal to the citizens urging that the issue ie supported. They cuihMi the attention or the public to the fart that two fires ut the same time could not be combat ted HiiceeHHfully. "li Grande has been exceptionally lucky In Ihe past In not having two fires al Ihe ;anie lime." Mr. Hnodgrass declared today. They also declared that had the qnlf'titent been adequate Ihe dis astrous Cart fire could have been handled, wHI us others too num erous to mention. The present t ruck has been In s'-rviee hen 13 -ars. according to Mr. Murchison. who d'-elared that when the citizens 'were called upon lo vole on the matter, many would not support the proposition al IhoiiKh he further said that Ihe truck paid for Itself In about a year. He believes t hat the pro posed pumper would pay for Itself tn a very short time besides In creasing the efficiency of the fire department enormously.
