How to Vote.
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.
