Very little interest is being shown on
the streets today regarding the special
election on the interurban railway fran
chise, and around the polling places in
the various wards there is scarcely any
indication that an election is being held.
The vote is extremely light, and while
1T is believed the ayes will be greatly
in the majority, the total of the votes
cast Will be extremely small. Up to
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon the vote by

An expensive feature in the construc-
