vote "to ctay out" was felt to be a
foregone conclusion for some time,
while the majority in favor OF the

smaller than expected.
There were only 242 ballots cast in
the FIVE wards Of the city out of over
1000 registered voters OF the 242
total votes las were for and 81 against
the school district enlargement, ma
jority OF As in favor.
There was a tUJdI Of 312 votes cast
in the Atdanand Opequon Districts. Oh
this number n were for and 235
against, or majority of 1853 against
the proposition. So they will stay oui
for year AT least.
The following is the vote by pre-
cincts:
First Ward--For "a, against Is
