BOND ISSUE FOR
BUILDING FAILS
Special Election in South
Heights Results in Defeat of
Improvement Plan.

BY a vote of IS to II the electors at
South Heights Saturday afternoon
voted down the proposed bond issue at
the special school election. A new
school building with better accommo-
dations for this rapidly growing COM
munity was desired by some of the
residents of that locality and a bond
issue was proposed but the matter
failed to carry.
The polls were open at the school
house on Twenty-fourth street from 2
to but there was general apathy and
as result the old building will have
to be used in the future. The present
structure has two rooms with seat
ing capacity of 90. Friends of the pro
posed improvement declare that al
least los pupils will be enrolled next
term and believe that the present &C
commodations are inadequate.
