NOTICE TO TOWN CLERKS.

County Auditor Weaver is sending
out the following notice to towr
clerks: 'i''ou oia-i'' y
Dear Sir: I am daily asked abou,

held or such other place as may be
lawfully designated by the town board
if this was not done at the last town
or village meeting. This place, when
selected, must be the general voting
place in November, and if not now
selected should be done at once.
Where the general election law is
NOT amended the law stands as your
guide together with the primary law.
The election judges are the town
but no more than two of
the same party can act. If the super
visors do not desire to act they will
advise the town clerk ten days at least
before the primaries. The supervisors
will then hold meeting and appoint
the judges and after that time ten
days notice must be posted. Ii two
of the supervisors will act as judges
then the board may select the other of
3 different political party. See sec

WILL Mr.. WILLIAMS SIGN?

There is much doubt as to whether
Recorder Williams will sign the war
rants for hiring the band to give free
concerts on the street. Unless the ex-
penditure is authorized by the charter
he probably will not sign them. As
regards the increase of the salaries of
firemen by ordinance, he will look
into its effect before signing the war
rants allowed under it.

WILL NOT PETITION.
Mr.. Pau Holds That Filings on the
27 Are LEGAL,

A. R. Pau Jr., who fled for county
attorney On the 9th, does not intend
to file again by petition, believing
that filings made on the 9th are legal.
In counting, he follows the legal
custom and excludes one day from the
twenty. which would make the 9th
the last day for fling.
1t is not known that any point will
be raised in the case of those who
fled on the 9th, and their names will
all go on the ticket unless somebody
should take tie matter into court.
County Attorney Wilson is of the
opinion that when the law says that
filings must Sbe made at least twenty
days before} the primary election it
means twenty days and not nineteen.
This opiniop is also held by other
county attorneys.
