The polls will be open from 0 a. m. to 7 p. in. witn the exeption of one boor from 1 to 2 p. m., when the polls will be closed. There is a misnuderstanding among some of he property owners as to the assessing of expenses for street work and to make those points plain the city council 'at its meeting Thursday night decided that in the eveut a rock crusher and roller is purchased by the oity for the improvement of the streets, all the dirt work be done as heretofore and paid for out of the general fond and that all gravel work and macadamizing be charged to the abbntting property owners, of the property benefitted.
