LOCAL OPTION CUES
TON POPS UP AGAIN.

There promises to be another scrap
on the local option petitions WedDes-
day, December 9th, when the board OF
supervisors meets.
Taking advantage Of the fact that
the board adjourned to this date from
their annual meeting, and it having
been construed by legal opinion that
this meeting would constitute resume
of the annual meeting, from which the
meeting was adjourned, the local option
forces have prepared new petitions fol
presentation to the board asking them
to submit the question to the people al
the spring election, and the posting Of
the petitions will be completed today.
The petitions are altogether different
from the petitions that were presented
to the board at the beginning of their
annual meeting. for it has been found
that the wrong petition blanks were
used in the previous canvass for sigma.
lures, and the ''dry" forces promise
that the petitions are going to be per
feet this time.
Those in charge Of the circulating Of
the petitions state that there are more
signers than before, and there will be
about 500 signatures. if not more thar
that, to the petitions. The number Of
signatures required is 418.
What the board will do in this matter,
is hard to tell, for it may develop some
legal points that will have to be cleared
up.
The Anti-Saloon league attorney
from Lahsing will be present when the
board meets.
