Bonds Not Invalid.

The Reno school districts trouble With
the invalidity of their school bonds
caused by irregularities in the election
authorizing the bond sale has caused a
good deal of comment on the streets, as
TO whether OF not the high school bonds
recently voted for in this county would
be ieopardi2ed through the same reason,
viz; \ lack OF the majority Of all the
voters entitled 10 vote upon the
question. Investigation proves that
there ia no cause for alarm by the high
school partisans as the law authorizing
the Reno bond sale provided that a ma
joritV of all electors entitled to vote upon
the subject was required there while the
Churchill county high school bond sale
only required a majority OF the electors
voting To render the process valid. In
making this statement we are quoting
attorney b. r. McCabe's Interpretation
Of the law, and others, SO that there does
not seem to be any likelihood of the
question ever being raised
