at the court house hero Monday
morning, but it was derided not to
call tho election until the next reg
ular meeting of the board in De
cember.
It was announced that the peti
tion to be presented to the board
requesting it to call an election
would be presented at the De
cember meeting. It is being nu
meroualy ■ signed , , by thc ., citizens ...
or the county, it was stated,
will have a sufficient number of
named of qualified voters at that
time to call an election.

board, a committed from

county board in a conference con
cerning the advisability of in
cluding in the proposed bond elec
