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. The polls are to be open be­
tween 8 a. ni and 8 p. m.
