Langdon city's school election held
Tuesday was a quiet affair that was CIV
en- an unusually light vote, both the out
going members of the board of education
Chas. Hunter and j.. j. Mahoney, being
reelected by a unanimous vote, making
a splendid endorsement of the work done
by the old boord during the trying ex-
ergencies 1t has been confronted with in
the past two years. The work of re-
building the school and looking after
matters connected with the carrying on
of the school work during the time
that Langdon was without a building of
its own during the reconstructive period
is an accomplishment that tells of the
ability of the members of the present
board of education to give the people
a thoroughly business like administra-
ton and n which they approve, as
shown by the vote on Tuesday.

cities of the first class, two of the sec

tiers have adopted the plan. Under the
provisions of the act of 1907 only seven
cities had the requisite population OF
O.. 600 or over: while under the amend
ment Of 1909 the new plan was opened
to nineteen cities. Des Moines, for the
relief of which as a matter of fact the
commission scheme was originally

special election held on June 20, 1907
the vote being 6,376 for and 2.0S7
against The second adoption was by
Cedar Rapids on Dec. 2. 1907, where the
plan carried wy the small margin OF
thirty-three votes on a light poll. Since

votes, but recorded majority Of 1853
for adoption In 1910 Davenport re-
jected the plan by a majority OF 39S
in January, 1908. The exact dates upon
