Over a Technicality. j
Corvallis wiil have to vote again on
school bonds, on account of technicality
the bond buyers split hairs over. It
seems that the votes did not bear word

their desire as to ho'v or where the
bonds shoul I be sold, locally, at private
sale or by ad'trtising. This n not
done here either, anJ it is to be si en
whether the same demand is made.
