The school bond election, calling for $50,000 worth of school improve- ments is being conducted today at the Board of Trade rooms. Up to 4 o'clock 150 votes had been cast. Although it will take the offi- cial count to determine the question, it is thought the bonds will carry by a safe majority. An unpleasant phase of the elec- tion is that through oversight or negligence on the part of some one, a number of voters who claim to have paid their 1912 taxes have not been 1arked paid on the poll list, and as a result they were denied th2 privil- ege of voting. In this way some of the most prominent men and heaviest taxpayers of the community were de- prived of their votes, and all of them vere anxious to vote for bonds. Mr. L. W.
