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]

lots and only 1 voters will be al

“yes” or “no” pn any question.

for 1924. These receipts have to show
datepof payment in 1924 and cover the

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
