There are less than 200 registered
voters in Yorkville, and there are 120
white subscribers to THE YoRKv1LLE
ENQUIRER within the incorporate limits.
In many instances there are two or
more registered voters in a single fam
lily that requires but single paper.
On the subscription list, however, ap-
pears the names Of 102 registered vo-
ters. It is quite probable that an off1-
cial notice Affecting the interests of the
voters will reach not less than 80 per
cent. of them. If the matter Is OF par
amount Importance, 1t will reach prac-
tically all of them. Therefore, If there
is not a full vote on the bond question
next Wednesday, 1t will not be because
the people have not been advised Of the
time and place of the election.
