PETITION PRESENTED FOR
LOCAL OPTION ELECTION

Another petition was presented to
the Board of Aldermen last Monday
night asking for a special election
in the city Of Pennington to vote on
the question of licensing saloons to
sell Intoxicating liquors In this city.
| AS is known to the readers of The
Times, similar petition was pre-
sented to the board month ago and
an election was ordered, but owing
TO some defects or mistakes made In
the order, as to the number of days
notice required by the law govern
ing such elections, and some other
doubtful matters, no further action
was taken on tnat order.
The petition presented to the board
asks for an election on Friday, De
cember 18th. The board appointed
a committee consisting of Aldermen
! thinner, HUH. Spaugh and Petty to
examine the petition to see that it
fully complied with the law, aud re-
port to an adjourned meeting of the
board to be held next Monday night.
The petition contained between 100
and 40 signers, which is more than
20 per cent of the qualified voters Of
the city, and the law requires but 10
per cent.
The law requires that the election
shall be held within forty days OF
the filing of the petition. If the
Board makes the order at its ad'
journed meeting next Monday night
