Silvrton taxpayers are prdttv
evenly divided over the question of
bonding the district for $(!0,000 for
a new School building. At an elec
tion last Saturday the affirmatives
were in the majority by only two, and
this makes the third time that the
question has been submitldc to the
freeholders.
In the ballot box were found 10
affirmative votes which were marked
wrong. Throwing these out entire! v
the bond issue would have been car
ried by a majority of 17. On account
of the hot contest and close vote two
counts were made and it was decided
finally to include the votes whi,-h
had been wrono-lv m-n-L-n.i v.i
which were understood as 10 affirma
tive and 25 negative, leaving a ma
jority of two votes in favor of tho
bond issue. This was the third elec
tion to decide the bond question. The
first election was for $60,000 hmwl
and the issue was lost by a Vote of
nearly 2 to 1. The second election
was called a few weeks later to vote
on the question of bondine- the
trict for $15,000 and this was also
lost. Before the lasf. eWt;
., V,.,(J a r,
campaign was made to infin,.
iavorabe vote.

will be contested and i
