While it was certain that the vote would be favorable, and the council had made plans for the immediate construction of the road, it seemed that a unanimous Vote of this nature would be almost impossible to get. , There were three more votes cast than in the former election, which was held on March 28, one vote in each case being against the ksue and one ballot cot counted In botkl elections because of error. j The day was ideal and a larger vote would have been polled but for the reason that the polls closed at 5 o'clock which is e.rlier.than in a general election. Action was taken immediately by the council to get things under way for tho construction of the road. A band concert on the streets Monday evening and general cele bration was indulged in by a number of those who had been most active in the election. As the' various legal steps taken by the city in connection with this election have all been advised by the firm of Keehler Bros., of Den ver, who specialize in this class of legal work, there is no possibility of a delay in tho financing of the road, councilmcn say. Prineville not only wants the road, but by this vote has ex pressed a willingness to pay for it and has the resources with' which to justify the investment. AUTOSlWF HOTELORECON NOW R. P.
