At a late hour this afternoon it
looked as if the vote polled would
be the largest ever cast in a local
school elect on. Over 1000 votes
had been cast up to O'Clock, and
people were still crowding into the
voting place in the Lowell school
building.
The friends of each of the three
candidates-A. r. Sampliner, ]. S.
Woods and II. S. Day-havc worked
hard and faithfully all day long.
Consequently, when the polls opened
at pm. the voting started out fast
and furious and so kept up. The
members of the school board are in
charge of the ballot box. The voter
selected ticket bearing the name of
his or her choice, marked X opposite
the name and deposited the ballot
after giving his name.
Several scores of automobiles.
carriages and vehicles of various
kinds were busy all afternoon round
ing up voters and carrying them to
the polls.
The scene in front of the Lowell
school building has certainly been a
lively one all afternoon. Many work
ers for each candidate were on the
ground. and each voter had to run
a veritable gauntlet. The contest
was spirited. but friendly. At times
at least 200 people were gathered
around the school building.
You had to take your place in a
long line after you entered the build

ACTION
IS NECESSARY
City Cannot Pass General
Building Condemnation
Ordinance.
STUDY GIVES OPINION
SAYS HE THINKS THAT FOR EV-
cry BUILDING CONDEMNED BY
PROPER AUTHORITIES AN ORD
NANCE MUST BE PASSED.

After Councilman Deuker, chairman
Of the ordinance committee, asked
Mayor Schillinger at council last even
ing for more time to prepare a build
ing inspection ordinance, stating that
the ordinance drafted in 1901 was in
effective and would have TO be changed
generally, City Attorney T. J. Study
took the floor and stated that in his
opinion it would not be possible for the
city council to pass general ordi-
nance providing for the inspection and
condemnation of buildings.
Mr.. Study stated that the section of
the towns and cities code which COW
cred this point was so wOrded that he
construed it to mean that for each
building which the board of public
works or other proper authority"
supposed to mean the fire chief, deem
ed to be unsafe. the city council would
have TO pass an ordinance cOndemning
this special building.
Mr.. Deuker asked Mr.. Study that in
the event the council could not pass a
general ordinance providing for the
condemnation of all buildings that the
board of public works or the fire chief
regarded as unsafe. what action would
be taken in case of an emergency
when it would be necessary. in an
emergency case, to condemn building
and tear it down without waste of time
this action could not be taken, under
your construction of the statute. until
all the cOuncilmen had been gathered
together and an ordinance condemnine
the building had been passed" stated
Mr. Deuker.
Mr. Study said that he thought
council could enact general Ordi
nance providing for the municipal in
spectiOn of all buildings under con
structiOn and provide the manner in
which they should be built, the mate
rial used and the heighth of the build
inss, but that he was confident that il
would be impossible to provide for the
condemnation of buildings under c
general ordinance.
