SOME SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
MARKING THE NEW BALLOT

County Clerk King gives some
suggestions for voters that are
worth remembering. He says: For
instance, the clause requiring as
sistance to voters unable to read the
English language is repealed. The
only person who can be assisted Is
the blind voter and those physically
disabled from marking the ballot.
That means he must be without arms
or IL he has arms and hands they
must be useless. Intoxication Is not
a disability in the case of the voter.
Also, that the employee has under
the law two hours to vote and can
not be locked for the time. Also,
that il a cross in the square is not
absolutely geometrical, it matters
not. The intent of the voter gov
ems. Ballots should be marked with
pencil having black lead; in con-
sequence of this provision many a
ballot has been rejected because 1t
was marked with an indelible pen
ell. have known election judges to
lick every ticket to determine this
point. If the pencils found in the
booths are used this will be avoid

FORMER HOPE MAN
IN JAIL AT LYONS

Hope Dispatch: D. r. Coulter
who led the Hope band a couple OF
years, and who finally left here
under disreputable circumstances, is
in the Lyon county jail charged
with impersonating health officer
and collecting fees as such. This
being a state offense we expect he
is liable to be landed behind the
bars again. Hope people will be very
sorry for his splendid wife and lit

CITY rs CRUSHING ROCK
Old-Time Crossings Will Be Put to
Use

OId-Time Crossings Will BE Put 10
Use
The city is crushing the rock oD-
tanned from the old time crossings
which were in use before paving
was put in and will sell the crushed
rock to the paving company and turn
the net receipts into the street and
alley fund. When the rock crossings
were taken up the rock was stored
on the city lot on the south side.
The city tried to sell the rock just
as It was but that is practically i'm
possibIe. So H. E. Sollenberger has
set up his crusher here and has
crushed about 40 cubic yards. His
crusher has a capacity Of about 20
yards a day.
The rock now on hand will make
about 1000 yards crushed.

He is consulting with the depart

cables can deliver messages only on

CITY CLERK KERN
SAYS PETITIONS
N0TSUFF|C|EN7'
CERTIFIEs THAT NOT ENOUGH
NAMES HAVE BEEN SIGNED
FOR a RECALL.
OTHER PETITIONS MAY BE FILED.
TEN DAYS GIVEN FOR
AMENDMENT.

City Clerk Albert j. Kern has at
taehed his certificate to the recall
petitions which were filed ten days
ago asking for a recall election for
city commissioners, certifying that
the number of names filed upon the
petitions is not sufficient to warrant
him to submit the same to the Board
of Affairs.
The petitions as presented to the
city clerk ten days ago contained $50
names. According to the law as en-
acted relative to the recall, 456namcs
of legal voters would be deemed suf-
flcient for the calling Of on election
and while the clerk did not state in
his certificate Just how many of the
530 were judged illegal by him, 1t is
claimed that not more than half OF
sufficient names were filed.
The charter provides that after the
petition is shown to be insufficient
by the city clerk. 1t may be amended
within ten days from the date of the
certificate, and the clerk shall again
make an examination to ascertain II
sufficient names have been filed. :
7 It is said that the parties, who have
the matter of. circulating the peti-
tions in hand did not file all of the
names in their possession and Mr..
John Price. who has been very active
in the work states that he has suf-
ficient names In his hands at the pres
emit time to bring the number up to
the REQUIRED amount. Mr.. Price dis
nutes thr right of the city clerk to
declare the number filed as Insult
ficicnt and saws that in a contrS
the clerk would he forced to recoG-
nize the names as those OF legal vot-
crs. However as e has large num-
bcr in his hands not yet filed. he
thinks that the easiest way out OF the
difficulty would be to- file. these and
then there can he no dispute In the
future in regard to; the number Mr..
Price states that the supplementary

the specified time allowed by the law

WOULD have DISTRICT
own GAS COMPANIES
Commissioners Urge Action in Report
to Senate Committee on APP
preparations.
BENEFIT TO CITIZENS SEEN

The District Commissioners, in COM
munication sent to the Senate Committee
on Appropriations yesterday. urged the
taking over of the Washington and
GEORGETOWN Gas Light Companies
The Commissioners. in answer to the
committees request for an opinion on the
amendment offered by Senator Gallinger
to the pending District appropriation bill.
authorizing a merger of the two COM
panies. saw that. while there might be
merit in an amalgamation, they believe
that a municipality owned gas company
would greatly help the citizens OF the
District.
The following is taken from the Com
missioners' report:
"The two gas companies concerned in
this amendment operate in different parts
Of the territory of the District Of Column
bia. The Georgetown Gas Light Com
pany operates in the territory west Of
Rock Creek, and the Washington Gas
Light Company operates in the territory
ca st of the creek, and both are prohibited
from1endering services in the territory
of the other, and they are therefore not
competing companies at the present time.
but the Commissioners conceive that. IL
the proposed amendment should carry. 1t
is possible that what are sometimes called
overhead charges in the conduct of such
COMPANIES might be largely reduced.
FINALLY, the Commissioners venture to
