land and building additional necessary
schoolhouses in different portions OF tie
city will be held on the ID of April On
the same day, with different polls, different
election officers and different tickets, will
be held another election to approve the
issuance Of $4,000 more in bonds for the
purpose of dredging and building the
boulevard around Lake Merritt, and for
filling In and making a public park of
so acres on the marsh at the Sixteenth
street depot To carry either or both of
these propositions II Is Necessary 10 have
two thirds of the voters of the city voting.
1t is only fifteen days to the date of the
election. and the battle is beginning to be
fast and furious; but TO all appearances
1t seems that those shouting for bonds, i'm
proyements and progress are in the lead.
Whether they can carry the lead far enough
to make it two-thirds is the question.
A petition is being circulated essiduously
for signatures asking the Council TO post
pone the election. The petition alleges that
the signers are in favor of improvements
and progress, but they want to be sure that
the law under which the bonds are to be
issued is sound and that they will be sal
able when issued. These petitions so far
do not seem TO be receiving very numerous
signatures. On the other hand, those in
favor of bonds claim to be making converts
every day and are confident that they will
carry the election by much more than the
necessary twO-Ihirds
