cost of $4,000.
The Standard Voting Machine Co.,
entered into contract with Des

A month or SO ago Judge Mcpherson
handed down an opinion in a rernurrer
holding that the Instrument OF in
IdNbtcdness given by Des Moines
county to the voting machine company
was negotiable. The issue now being
argued is whether the board of super
yisors of the county had any authority
|! to make a contract for the machines.
One Of the voting machines was
brought down from Burlington and TAX
/ en- to the court room as an exhibit in
the case. The machines were never
luced at Burlington but those received,
were stored in the basement of the
court house.
