The village election last Monday that
was called for the purpose of bonding
the village for electric light purposes
was as nearly unanimous as people ever
get on any proposition. The result Of
the vote, 332 yeas, 48 nays and one ticket
spoiled, shows that our people are awake
to the necessity of this public improve
ment. In view of this emphatic en-
dorsement of their action in presenting
this proposition to the voters, the coun-
Gil lost no time in preparing for further
work. Monday evening, steps we're taken
to place the bonds on the market and to
engage a competent engineer to draw
plans and specifications from which to
secure bids for contracts for building the
dam and other constructive work. The
action OF the council in taking the steps
they have, evidences desire to have the
work thoro ughly and economically done,
and we hope before winter is here to see
the work of building the dam completed.
