NEW ELECTION DECIDED UPON BY COMMISSION Again Be Submitted to Voters of Mandan Another special election will. be called in the near future for the re- submission of the waterworks: bond- ig issue to the people of Mand: was decided by the city comm sioners at a meeting ‘last night. The call has not yet been issued, as the commission will await the return of i |. Connolly, who ter. The nin legal form will be left to him and the call for the election: willbe issued in. ac- | cordance with it. ; The commissioners \ decided last night to split the proposition, mak- ing one question of the construction of a new reservoir and another ques- tion of the construction of another water main. The passage of the questions will call for a bond issue, e total amount could not be set forth at the city au- e this moming. It is the belief of some people in the city that the bond issue which was voted on a few weeks ago was defeated by the apathy of the vot- ers, and that if those who favored it had taken the trouble to get out and vote, it would have carried without iffieulty. .
