BOND PROPOSITION
EASILY DEFEATED
Lack Of Interest in Result Iy vinltans
is Responsible For Defeat Of
Bond Issue.

by a majority Of about two to one
the voters OF Craig county in a spec.
ial election Monday, refused to au-
thorize the issuance of bonds for SG5,.
600 for the erection of a court house
here. and $4,000 for the coustruc.
tion of bridges over the county.
The lack of interest shown IN the
result by the citizens OF Vinita is
largely responsible for the defeat of
the issue. The following is the vote
on the court house bord proposition,
which is practically the same as the
vote on the bridge bonds, the latter
received a few more votes.
