THE BOND ELECTION.

The Committee Makes Preparations for
the Coming Event.
The Bond Election Committee met last
evening at Judge Bakers Office.
1t was called to order by President G. A.
Luhrs, who first announced the appoint
ment of the following committees: FL
nance-J. M. Milliken, Thos. Hague, Jas.
Popert, Mayor Comstock, D. A. Lindley
and Sylvester Tryon.
Address and Advertising-S. E. Caring
ton, DR.. G. L. Simmons and David Lubin.
Mr.. Lubin suggested that some kind of
device be arranged for the Fourth of
July procession to remind voters of their
duty at the coming election.
9. A. Luhrs thought that at least ten good
men be selected for each polling-pla to
urge the voters to cast their ballots in favor
OF the issuing of the bonds and explain to
them the benefits to be derived by their SO
doing.
Mr.. Lubin said he thought that on the
day of the election people would come to
the polls with their minds fixed one way or
the other, and, therefore, he considered
that the matter should be argued before
the people several days before the election
He argued that the better plan would be to
have addresses printed and distributed
among the people on the streets on the
Fourth of July. If it was properly worded,
and made short and to the point, he be-
lieved it would have the effect of gaining
many vote.
1t was ordered that the address be printed.
DR.. Dixon moved that a neatly arranged
banner, with the words: ''Vote for the
bond measure and improve our Streets" in
aorihod tharonn no unt r;aI -,
the Fourth of July parade. 1t was so or
dered.
1t was ordered that the Chair appoint a
committee of six gentlemen. whose duty it
will be to select committee of ten for
each polling place. The following gentle
| men were appointed: DR.. G. NJ. Dixon, NJ
J. Dillman, G. T. Noyes, A. B. Sanborn, f.
r. Dray and d. A. Lindley.
S. E. Darlington informed the meeting
| that the City Trustees had ordered $4,000
ballots printed.
The following gentlemen were selected
| q committee to notify the men in their
| respective departments of the railroad
| shops of the approaching bond election
and inform them of the merits of the
question: NJ. A. Baxter, w. c. Fitch, c. c.
Bonte, Jabez Turner, Benjamin WEIGH
James Dunnigan, James Mccullough, s
Uren, A. Younger, w. Webb, V. Lemay
| Z. NJ. Luckett and G.. A. Stoddard.
Dr.. Dixon said he believed bit of sar.
casm would not be out of place, and sug.
gested that an old top wagon, with the
wheels clogged with mud, be drawn in
the Horribles' parade by two broken-down
horses, and that the following words bt
painted on the canvas top: Don't vote
for the bond measure; it will injure oul
Streets"
| The committee were unanimous in favor
of DR.. Dixon's suggestion, the carrying out
of which was left to the doctor.
NJ. ]. Dillman and D. A. Lindley were
appointed committee to see that severa
canvas banners, calling the attention of the
public to the election. be stretched across
the streets at intervals on and K.
Sylvester Tryon didn't believe in spend
ing money for the purpose of having ban
ners stretched across the street. 1t was al
a humbug, and wouldn't have the effect o.
procuring vote. Mr.. Tryon also said that
contrary to the general belief, all of the team
sters in town were in favor of the issuing O
bonds
Mr.. Popert begged to differ from Mr.
Tryon on the latter proposition. He be
lieved that that class of the people wer,
opposed to the measure.
After red-hot discussion on matters il
general, the committee adjourned to NEE
next Monday evening.
