ADDITIONS TO
QUALIFIED LIST
BOND ELECTORS
REGISTRATION OFFICER REPORT
ED TOTAL OF NINETY-NlNE
NAMEs-MAY QUALIFY UP TO
TnIs EVENING.

Immediately after the adjournment
of the first special meeting of the
city council last night, the second
special session of the evening was
called to order. This was at $3.50
o'clock. President Greenhut presid-
ed and ten aldermen were present.
Chairman Williams of the board of
canvassers for the bond election, pre-
scented the list of additional names
which the registration officer, upon
proper showing from the tax colIec-
tors office, had added to the qualifi-
ed list of electors since the last
meeting of the council last week,
when the question was considered.
The names we're not read, but there
were niEety-nine additions. Alderman
Williams informed the council that
the list had been checked over care
fully by. the registration officer and
had been vouched for as far as cor
rectness and detail went. In such
shape, and with such assurance, the
council received the list and ordered
that the same be published. Such
list appears in another column of
The Journal this morning.
Tax Collector Whiting, addressing
the council, stated that he had given
several or a number of people to I'M
derstand that their taxes could be
paid as late as Tuesday night, and
he thought some would be in before
the day was over and pay taxes, thus
qualifying to vote in the election.
With such information before the
body, the council agreed that anoth-
er special meeting was necessary be
fore finally accepting the qualified
list, and poll was taken to ascertain
IL special meeting would be posi-
BILE at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening. Al
dermen numbering enough to make
u pa quorum said they would come,
and the hour was set for 6:15 p. m.
At that time the registration officer
will present any and all names which
may be qualified and this will be
followed by final acceptance of the
entire list at special meeting to be
held Wednesday evening at the usual
hour.
Council then adjourned.
