last Thursday afternoon, in view OF the
opinion from high tegel authority that
the board had the power to accept the

special election. 1t is probable that if a
vote was taken it would have to be by the
Australian ballot, which would mean
cons .derable expense to the city, which 1t
is hoped to avoid.
