given in mis- honor last evening in the

Introduced by President W. NJ. Ham.

but business man and business
worker, and that after study of the
situation, he would submit his views
and recommendations in writing.

booster organization, this is now a
business club, " said Mr.. Hamilton,
and with our new secretary who has
had business and sales experience, we
hope to develop along this line. "

NOT MUCH INTEREST
IN CITY ELECTION

Although the city election will be
held next Monday, the political pot is
not boiling as in the days of yore when
city elections We're fought from a per-
sonal standpoint. Political meetings
seem to be a thing of the past, and
with less to fight for, it becomes more
difficult to get the electors to the polls.
AT the primary election, November /,
only 1922 votes were cast, although
the registered voting strength in the
city is close to 5000.
All will be quiet except in North
and South Salem. In the fifth ward,
C. NJ. Roberts and Levi McCracken are
opposing candidates, while in the sew
enth, the voters will choose between
John f. White and n. d. Elliott.
In the other five wards, tle only
thing that will bring the voters out is
their interest in the proposed amend.
ment to the city charter. The present
charter is faulty in that the city can.
not give a satisfactory title where
property is sold for delinquent assess.
ments.
The proposed amendment to the
charter is to permit a purchaser at a
sale OF property for delinquent street
assessments, to foreclose his certificate
of sale at the end of three years, in
the same manner as certificates of sale
for delinquent taxes are now foreclOsed
under the state law.
The polls will be opened from, 8
o clock in the morning until at night
and are located as follows:
First ward, Garfield school house.
Second ward, city hall.
Third ward, basement Of the Masonic
Temple.
Fourth ward, South Commercial
street, opposite the Marion MOTEL.
Fifth ward, Reddaway's store, Hood
and Sixth streets.
Sixth ward, State and Twenty.third
streets, in vacant store room.
Seventh ward, Poisal and ,Shaw's
store, South Commercial street.
