da impregnada la atm6sfera, cada vez
que uno de aquellos modestos funciona-

tuarse ell barrido de La Plaza Baldorioty,
era materialnente impossible respirar en-
ella, pues impedla la respiration la nu-
be de pelvo que levantaban los barrende-
ros. La generalidad de los viandantes

important elections will be held this
year in which only the qualified voters
can participate The payment of poll
tax is necessary to qualify voter and
even those who have not registered
must pay the tax now in order to be
fully qualified when the registration
books are next opened. The tax can be
paid on or before the 1st day of Feb
ruary. but after that time the books
Will be closed and all who have not
paid Will be cast into outer dark

next election no matter what the pur-
pose of the election may be. In order
to avoid the rush in the closing days.
