After due consideration the council grant- ed the request and set Tuesday, August 23rd for the date of the election. A similar proposition of this kind was defeated at a special election, held on July 5th. The! petition, filed with the council, requesting another election, re- cites that many did not under- stand the real motives of the bond issue, and as a consequence, several who opposed the bond issue on July 5th have become stunch supporters for the move- ment, realizing that something must he done to the streets lead- ing out of Cottonwood and especially when the farmers are improving the roads leading to the city limits, the hauling all being done by donation which the farmers have also promised to do for the city. Some Opposition. At the mass meeting held in the city council chambers, Mon- day evening, some opposition was voiced against the proposi- tion, but the greatest majority of those present were in favor of the improvement. — It is quite generally admitted at this time that the bond issue will carry on August 23rd, as the issue was only defeated by 11 votes July 5th.
