on Monday, August 25, to

. jte again on the 485,000 bond issue
for the improvement of the water
system. The ballot also will carry
an item for 110,000 for the construc­
tion of a bridge on Beach street.
The bonds wore favorably acted on
by the voters s year ago this month
but their issuance was thrown out on
s technicality, hence the present elec­
tion.
A considerable portion of the work
has already been done in-order to pre­
vent what might have been a serious
shortage of water this summer and
fall and the approval of the bonds
will enable the water department to
complete the work and pay for that
already done.
Under the recent decision of the
supreme court all registered voters
are entitled to vote at this election.
At this mooing approval was given
to a lease from the Southern Pacific
company for right of way for a sewer
