The boxes were taken to the county
court house and those who were to con-
duct the count were instructed relative
to opening the boxes and were furnished
with ballots upon which to make returns
to be given to the supreme court as evil
dence. Everyone was excluded from the
room during the count. The tape sur

seal and after the count each box was
re-sealed. Every ballot was inspected
and those marked in different ways were
| placed in classes. In wards one and two.
which were the only ones counted, there
were found to be % different methods Of
marking ballots for the rnayoralty vote.
A sample ballot will be marked CORES
ponding to the several classes and the
number of votes marked in that way will
be reported to the supreme court. which
will then decide what ballots shall be
counted and what shall not. Those maxi

NEW POOR FARM
Property on North Avenue to Be Pur-
chased for THAI Purpose.

The city will purchase the property on
North avenue known as the Nash farm
for the sum of $1,000 and will combine
it with a former purchase there and con-
vert the property into poor farm. The
new purchase will give the city a total
of about 1870 acres The new farm adjoins
the land purchased year ago and can be
easily reached from North avenue, thus
avoiding the side road which it is neces-
sary to take to get to the land now owned
by the city.
The new poor house, for which plans
We're submitted some weeks ago and for
which bids were received, will be built
soon The bids received for the cOnstruC-
ton Of the house according to the plans
were in the vicinity of sllOno and that
amount is more than is thought advisable
to put into the structure. In consequence
the plans will probably be revised and
new bids asked for.
