I ELECTION ORDERED. Electors Will Vote May 2nd on Water Bond Issue. At a meeting of city council, held ast Thursday night, an election wa? jrdered to be held on May 2nd, lor he purpose of voting 011 the ques;ion of issuing bonds for the extension of the waterworks of the city, md for maintenance of the electric ight plant. The petitions calling for the elec;ion were presented to the council it the meeting Thursday night. The Petitions had been signed by a majority of the freeholders of the city. U the election all qualified electors vill be allowed to vote. It was stated in a recent issue of The Herald hat only freeholders would be alowed to vote. This was erroneous. The plan by which a city can vote )onds is for petitions to be circulated, calling upon city council to orler an election. Only freeholders :an sign this petition calling for the election. At the election, all qualiied registered voters can cast their >allots for or against the issue, dany of the freeholders cannot vote it all in elections, but they can either sign or refuse to sign a call or an election; thus they have a roice in the voting in of bond issues. The voters of the city of Bamberg vill vote May 2nd on the question if whether or not the city will issue 110,000 in bonds for the purpose of uaking necessary extensions of the vater mains, and $5,000 for the mrpose of improving the electric . ?ower plant. It is proposed to secure a supply >f pure water?water that can be ised for drinking and all other puri t _ i j.'? . r- i. a * loses?ana nave pieniy ul n. al resent, as is well known, the water upplied by the city is^ not considerd pure enough for table or drinkog purposes, and the people are put o great expense in providing pumps t buying water for the table. The extension of the waterworks ystem will give the city much beter fire protection. The fire plugs re now located only in the business ection of* t^e town. With the exension of the mains, fire protection rill be extended to the residential ections also. Killing Frost Sunday Night. Last Sunday night the county was isited by a disastrous frost. Much amage has been reported to crops nd to gardens. The temperature egan to fall rapidly Saturday afteroon, and frost was predicted by the reather department for Saturday ight, but on account of a stiff wind hroughout the night, the frost faild to put in appearance. Sunday afsrnoon the wind ceased, and the esult was a heavy frost on the round Monday morning. Nearly all arden plants were killed. Many ' 1??? /imrororl tVlP ' ><Aiii ut?rg gaiucucio v/v?v*vu rowing vegetables Sunday night rith various articles of covering, and hey were rewarded by having their ardens, or at least a part, saved rom the frost. Meeting of Vigilance Committee. Last Monday a meeting of the vigi- C ince committee, appointed at the itizens meeting some time ago, was eld, at which conditions in the city re re reviewed. Some evidence of rhiskey selling in the city was preented to the committee, but the evience was not considered sufficiently onvincing to cause any arrests. Last Saturday, at the instance of he vigilance committee, the sheriff aade a search of several places in he city, and at one place found two mall bottles of whiskey. The evience pointed to the fact that the wner of the place probably was not esponsible for the whiskey being , here. t+ la nnriorstnnd that the committee horoughly discussed the blind tiger ituation, and that a plan of action s being mapped out for a crusade .gainst whiskey selling in Bamberg.
