A t the school bond election
held Saturday at the school house
for the purpose of voting on the
proposition of issuing $5,000 in
bonds to build an addition to the
present building, repairing the
present building and otherwise
improving it, there were 75 votes
cast; 42 for the bonds and 33
against the bonds, or a maiority
of 9 votes in favor o f the bonds.

ROTA WON QUARTET
PLEASED AUDIENCE
The job of judge or clerk of »ny election is usually-a
trying one, with very small compensation, and in this
last School Bond Election, those so acting received
nothing for their services.
I t was the desire of the
school board, that at this election that none but legal
vote be cast, so the secured a list o f those qualified to
vote according the last assessment rolls.
This was the
cause of dissappointment in several cases, but the judges
are to be commended for conforming to the law, though
no doubt quite unpleasant to challange a voter.
Those
who thought they had the right to vote, and were not
permitted to do so, may have thought it unjust, but we
believe the judges acted .with justice and fairness in
their decissions.
