The Three Referendum Propositions.

At our city election next week the voter will
be called on to register his wishes on three
referendum measures, and to do 80 intelligently
he should know what they are about
The first is a school bond proposition
authorizing the Issue OF one million dollars %
4 per cent bonds, the proceeds 10 be used to
construct new school buildings in pursuance TO
the plan adopted and promulgated by the
board The demand for enlarged school ac-
commodations in various parts OF the city Is
urgent, and will be more urgent with the advent
Of Greater Omaha.
The second contemplates purchase OF the
Auditorium, for which authority 20 issue $780,
900 Of bonds Is required. The Auditorium rep
resents an Investment of nearly $500 900, which
the city may now acquire for $3.50 900. being
the amount OF the secured and floating indebt~
cdness. No one who comedies that the city
needs an Auditorium can hesitate to approve
this purchase.
The third is the question OF Sunday base
ball this referendum coming under the state
law providing for local option in Sunday ball
playing. There is no more wholesome diversion
for amusement-seekers in a large city week days
or Sundays than base ball and the people must
have harmless amusement for their leisure
hours. Liberal minded people, even though not
themselves interested in base ball. will vote
Yes"
The main thing for all is not 20 overlook the
three referendum propositions so that the re-
suit recorded may reflect the real desires Of the
