At the city election Monday Albany
cast 6iS votes. And the election excited
considerable interest and was closely
contested. Eugene had her annual city
election the fret Monnay in April.
There was no unusual excitement over
the event, and 677 votes were polled.

Albany, From these indications it may
be safely stated that Eugene has passed
Albany in the race for growth and per-
manent development.
