W. Henning, City Clerk. The special election will be held on May 22, between the hours of 9 am. and 7 pm. There will be only one voting precinct, and the ballots will be cast at the Fire Hall. Although the election will cover the same matter as the vote taken at the last City election, it was ex- plained that the previous vote was more in the nature of an expres- sion of confidence in the action al- ready taken by the City Council than an actual vote on the bond issue. Details of the bond issue and purposes for which the money is intended appear elsewhere in this issue of The Empire.
