you'll send me a copy of said ordi-

next MONDAY
CANDIDATES ARE ALL IN
II Is Believed That There
Will Be No Others

With the arrival of March IL, which
is next Monday, the time for the entry
of candidates into the race for var
ious county officers will close.
This is one or the rules as laid
down by the county Democratic exec
utive committee in its recent rulings
relative to the conduct of the approach
ing primary 1t has been thought for
some time that the entries for the var
ious positions among the county Of
ficials have been closed, and it now
seems that this is true, as the time fof
the entry of additional candidates, if
there are any, has almost closed
1t is not expected that there viii
even be any further entries in the
race for county commissioners, the
race which has attracted more attere-
tion, probably, than any other of the
various races There have been many
entries into the race already, and the
interest in the election has been sus-
tanned very vigorously. At this hate
date, however. there VIII hardly be
others to enter, either in this race or
in any of the others

of the statistics and the arrangemenE
of the data obtained here will re-
quire several days of additional work
on the part of Mr. Solomon, so that
his report will be delayed until Mon
day.
Upon the report as made by Mr.
Solomon will depend the decision OF
the railroad commission 1t is be-
lieved that the report of that body
relative to the granting of the $780,
900 bond issue will not be delayed
very long after the report of Mr-
Solomon reaches them. The wide
disparity between the valuation OF the
plant as reported to the commission
by the corporation itself and by City
Engineer Ansley, will, it is hoped, be
somewhat explained when the report
of the expert has been made public
That bond issue will be allowed to
the corporation seems to be accepted
already as an established fact, the
only matter of doubt being in re-
gard to how large a bond issue VIII
be permitted by the commission The
issue as it is agreed upon by the rail
road commission, would naturally
range somewhere between the mIn-
imum and maximum valuations of tfaa
plant referred TO in this paragraph.

encouraging to know that despite the
