Much apprehension having existed as
to the time when the polls will be open
July 80, when the good roads special
bond election will be held, the cam
paign committee yesterday issued
notices that they will be open in every
precinct in Los Angeles county from 6
a. m. to p. m.
Voters may reach the polling places
before going to work in the morning or
at any time during the day. Many
employers have expressed Willingness
to permit employees to leave long
enough to vote.
An effort is being made to have the
mayor declare the day legal holiday
and to ask all large concerns to excuse
all voters for an hour or two that day.
Lists of the polling places will be
published in all the newspapers before
the day of election.
Voters who may cast ballots include
all those registered in 1907 and all reg
istered in 1908 up to and including July
8. Those who have moved since reg
istering must have taken out certi-
ficate of this fact and had their trans
fer officially made, residence of thir-
ty days in the precinct being required.

given out for use that day, and every
trolley car in town or county will be
decorated with them.
More buttons were ordered yester-
day, to be delivered early Monday. The
supply cannot keep up with the de-
mand in buttons; they cannot be made
fast enough.
The Women's club of Hollywood has
taken up the Los Angeles women's plan
of using the telephone and postcards
to arouse the interest of all men in the
special election. They are doing like
wise.
Women in Los Angeles are doing
fine work salong these lines. Most of

absent a message is left with any
member of the family.

contribute a short pithy resume of the
needs and what has been done to carry
the SO, 900 bond issue.
