OF Improvement Win by n
Close Vote.

An election was held in this city last Mon
day on the question of paving or macadamiz-
ing the streets and the construction of sewers,
and issuing bonds to the amount of 1000
therefor, under an act ofthe Legislature passed
at the last session. The bonds are to bear 6
per cent. and to be free from taxation. Great
opposition was developed to the measure and
the opponents issued circular on Thursday
of last week against II. Had the vote been
taken the next day the opponents would have
had large majority. The supporters pub
lished articles in the ADVOCATE and Sentinel
on Saturday, and also issued circular giving
plans and details for paving, and had exhibit
ed at the Wantz Building maps and profles
of the city. The supporters declared in their
circular that the bonds could be placed at
from Al to per cent, and that they could be
sold at from $50 to 60premium on the 81 900.
They also gave other assuring information,
and when the polls opened on Monday 1T was
a matter of speculation which side would win.
Both sides had workers representing consid-
cradle property, though the advocates of the
measure are believed to have represented the
most. The opponents had a ticket headed
Opposition to $25, 900 Bonded Debt" and
the supporters had theirs headed ''Mud or No
Mud; Live or Dead Town; Sickness or Health;
Public Spirit VS.. Fossilism." Men who rare
ly are seen around the polls were on hand
nearly all day, and interest ran high. OPP
posing the reet-paying scheme, as leaders,
were Col. VIM. P. Maulsby, B. w. Bennett,
John Smith, of Wakefield, Edward Lynch,
L. c. Trumbo, VIM. Wampler, Frank c.
Sharrer. For the measure were Charles L.
and John L. Reifsnider, VIM. II. Vanderford,
DIR. F. T. Shaw, VIM. B. Thomas, Charles V.
Wantz, Col. VIM. A. McKellip, ID. N. Hen
ming, II. II. Power, A. H. Huber, Orlando
Reese, H. Haines, Jas. E. Smith. There
were others that did effective work on both
sides.
When the polls closed at P. M. it was
found that 526 votes had been cast, of which
279 were for the paving improvement and 247
against it. Majority for paving 50. The vote
is large, showing the general interest in the
question, and the fight to win was very close
