Uansger ELECTION AND WHAT IT MEANS By J. F. JACOBS, SR^ Mayor of Clinton The City Council has ordered an election for May 26, as advertised Jn The Chronicle. This election' to all intents and purposes is intended to validate the previous election, which carried favorably to tne .four issues of bonds, but was declared null and yoid by City Council on recommenda tion of the mayor, -owing: to protests on ground irregularities in the election. It was the decision of the Council at the time that the declara tion''that the previous election was null and void, was made with the idea that a new election would be had in which the greatest care^^Uould be aimed agers and the cleik. Arrange] Will be made to admit of secret lots and only 1 voters will be al enter, as there will be no rooi crowds to stand around.

Four of these boxes will be devoted to the four bond issues, which are: First, $15,000 for white way lighting, will be required to show tax receipts for 1924. These receipts have to show datepof payment in 1924 and cover the 1 11'24 taxes. Each voter on appearing at the polls wiU be sworn and will present the way lighting, county registration certificate and the idea being that If thi* carries tl\e ;town registration certificate, and tax white way lighting will be done on the! receipts if any are required, which will Streets which petition for it, and abut- *>e examined by the managers of elec ting property owners will'be .assessed I H9 n before swearing the Voteif. •, Then on those petitioning streets on^half .on being sworn the voter the cost.

'—•, Another box will be supplied for voting on the water bonds, $25,000. The real need of the city at the pres ent time is for about $4Q,000 for ad ditional water plant, but owing to the fact that only $25,000 was proposed at the previous election, and this being in effect intended to validate tha pre- 1 vious election, the amount was not j increased- ' j /* ^ .The town also - needs about $10,000 taking up a ticket from, the each box and striking out “yes” or the Word “no” on the and voting -syne, then passing next box.
