GREATER DECATUR
 WILL CAUSE FIGHT
Election Expected To Be Called in Few Days
 To Combine Cities

Decatur. June 1s-(Special)-It is un- derstood that the mayors and the city councils of Decatur and New Decatur are convinced that the petitions now before them, asking that an consolidation election be called in each city, contain the required humber of signatures of legal voters and that within the next few days each city will call an election to vote on consolidation or no consolida- ton.
 At this time, looking at the matter from conservative standpoint. it would seem that the election would be very close and that only the count of the bal lots would prove the result to any de- gree of certainty.
 There are many who are of the opinion that if consolidation should carry then an election on the commission form of government for the consolidated cities would be asked for
 If the two Decaturs were consolidated they would have a total population, ac- cording to the United States census of 1910 of 10,346. Decatur had in 1910, &C., cording to the United States cenusu, 422S and New Decatur had 611S. Since that time the two cities have grown consid- erably until now Greater Decatur would have a population of not less than 12O00.
