Jackson Tomorrow the voters of Ashland will decide whether the McCormick tract and the Chautauqua building and site shall be purchased by the city, and added to Lithia Park. Citizens will vote upon two propositions, the first calling for the issuance of $8,000 in city improvement bonds for the purchase and partial repair of the Chau tauqua building, and the second calling for the issuance of $4,500 in city improvement bonds for the purchase of the McCormick tract. All properly registered voters in the city of Ashland, or those who have been residents of the city for six months, but who have not registered, are eligible to vote. The latter will be sworn in at the polls. . The City Hall and the Fourth street fire station have been designated by the city council as the polling places for the election tomorrow.
