KLAMATH VOTERS PUZZLED
Doubt Exists as to Validity of a

(Special.) Whether Klamath Falls
uuuiu neia us regular election
last Spring initead of waiting until
November. and can such an elec
tion be legally held at this time, is
a question which Is bothering the city
officials to a considerable extent and
will probably be the Issue of con
siderable controversy.
It was generally believed by the legal
representativea of the city last Bprlng
that an election in view of the new
state laws would have been Illegal.
Further perusal of the new law and
consultation with state authorities
makes It appear that Klamath Falls
has lost the chance of a legal election
for this year, in which case the term
of Mayor Crlsler, whose term was ex
pected to end this Fall, would hold
over until the next regular election.
