ARMORY BONDS CARRY The result of the bond election held last Monday showed that 157 persons voted for the bonds and that 10 voted against the issue. Evidently the big majority thought that the city could not afford to go on record as turning down the $20,000 gift by the state of Oregon to the municipality of Tilla mook. Th, Headlight believed that a good majority would be had for the bonds at the late special election for the reasons that city pride was at stake; that a home for the militia company was an important issue; and last, but not least, that Tillamook needs and badly needs, a large audi torium, which is now assured. Other towns in the state had set the example of building such housing for their soldier boys, and at the same time providing a large auditorium and Tillamook has kept pace with them. We can now invite state conventions, if they do not occur too soon to come over and hold their meetings here near the ocean. The next Odd Fellows convention and the next Elk conven tion will be held here and the verdict of the majority as witnessed by the recent city election, stands as an en dorsement of Tillamook’s go-ahead spirit and such a spirit augurs well for the future growth and prosperity How do you buy oil?
