WOODLAWN VOTES
 S15,OOO IN BONDS
WILL CONTRACT FOR A THOR ouGHLY ADEQUATE SEWER sYs- ITEM CONNECTING WITH THE COUNTY SEWER.

The town of Woodlawn held an election yesterday for the purpose of deciding whether it should issue s15.OOO in addition al bonds at per cent for 20 years for ex- tending the sanitary sewer system or not. The measure was carried with only one opposing ballot.
 The vote cast was light, the people seeming to realize that there would be no opposition to the movement. The final ballot was 1O6 for and l against. The polling place was at the city hall.
 Plans for an adequate sanitary sewer system for Woodlawn calling for an ex- penditure of s8O.OOO were drawn up by the city engineer some months ago. As only s15OO0 was in the treasury for the purpose. it was seen that it would be necessary to hold back the improve ments until the other $15,O0O could be secured, if the specifications were to be followed out The vote yesterday has cleared up all difficulties In the way of 4 first class system, connecting with the county sewer, and work will begin at an early date towards laying the pipes and putting in the connections
