ELECTION BooTus.-The Wayne
Ne,eS says: "The new election law
requires that the county court shall
provide suitable building at each
voting place, to be fitted up with
private compartments, counter and
ratings for holding the election. 1t
has been the custom TO use the
school houses but the county court
has no authority over the school
houses to build private compart-
ments, counters and ratings in them,
nor could the schools be hampered
with this election parphernaIia. The
erection of a house ut each precinct,
fifteen in all, would incur quite "a
cost on the county"
We once more call the attention
to our the county commissioners to
the unsafe and dangerous condition
OF the two bridges that span crook
ed creek ut this place. 1t is the
business of the county to put them
IN good repair, and not the city's as
the town collects bridge tax from
all Incorporated towns and villages.
Better look after this matter before
the county is made to pay heavy
damages.
