title II CT the Code of Iowa, and all

said petitions or statements of gem

Office of the county auditor in and
Tor said county, on the 10th day OF

OF the filing of the same and the
proposed canvass of the same by the

given and previously published by
the county auditor in all the official
newspapers of said Winneshiek coun-
ty, state of Iowa, as required by law
and the time fixed in said notices
for the canvass of said petitions or
statements of general consent hav,
ing arrived before the matter of the
canvass of the same was taken up
by the Board: and the Board of SUI
pervisors now on this 2Sth day of
June, 1911, the same being the 9th
day of the regular June, 1911, ses,
sion of said Board Of Supervisors,
having completed a public canvass
or said petitions or statements OF
general consent or we'll also as all
Withdrawals therefrom. and all other
papers on file with the county au>
ditor in relation thereto, and having
carefully examined and publicly cam
Vassed said petitions and statements
CT general consent, and having ex-
amined and compared the 'poll lists
of the last preceding general election
therein of said townships and voting
precincts of said county respectively.
and compared the same with said
petitions or statements of general
consent and Withdrawals therefrom
and having received competent testi-
mony in reference to said poll lists
and statements of general consent as
TO the voters and signers in said sew
eral townships and voting precincts
and towns in said county: and also
as to what voters as shown by said
poll lists resided inside and of what
voters resided outside of the corpor-
ate limits of all towns situated with
in said county; and after careful ex-
animation and consideration of all OF
said matters and all other things re-
quired by law in relation thereto do
find and declare: That said petitions
or statements of general consent to
the sale of intoxicating liquor after
deducting therefrom all legal with
drawals, contain the genuine written
signatures of more than siXty-fve
(65) per cent of all the legal voters
of said Winneshiek county, Iowa, re,
siding within such county who voted
at the last preceding general election
as shown by the poll list Of said
election: and also after deducting
therefrom all legal Withdrawals con-
tanned the genuine signatures OF a
majority of the voters of every town
and township in Winneshiek county,
Iowa, except the townships of Madi-
son, Frankville, Pleasant, Hesper,
Highland. Glenwood Orleans, Lin
coin and Fremont. We further find
that there is no city in Winneshiek
county. Iowa, having population OF
five thousand or more, and we, the
Beard of Supervisors of Winneshiell
county, Iowa, do therefore accord
ingly find and determine that said
petition or statement of general con-
sent, after allowing all legal with
drawals therefrom, are sufficient to
authorize, and we do authorize the
