That Referring to County Off

293 votes ahead while that relating TO
city treasurers and commissioners IN
exactly the same way is defeated by
1912 majority. The latter provision
is almost certainly rejected.
OF the remaining counties, IT Is be-
lieved that a majority VIII return

there is no telling Just what fate has
done to the proposal to change the
