The project lacked Just three votes
to have more than two-thirds of all
the ballots cast. Every ward cast a
majority in favor of the issue. In the
third, where the largest number Of
votes were cast against the PROPOSE
ton, Louis Witmor and William
BrunkhOrst made almost a hOuso-to-
house canvass against it. 1t is con-
coded by the supporters of the issue
that WitmOr and BrUnkhorst defeated
the proposition, although the ward
east a majority in favor i.
Brunkhorst ana Witmor, who are
known as reactiorarics, always oppose
bond issues for improvements, but
th"y put forth their best efforts in
this campaign. But in spite of their
consolidated campaign, they los: their
ward by forty votes.
Mayor Rage received telephone COM
manications from twenty persons last
night, who favored the bond issue but
who failed to vote, because they
believed their support was not ncces-
sary.
The City Council last night made
preliminary arrangements to call an
other special election to vote again on
the bond issue. When the council con-
vened, Mayor Rage asked what the
wishes of the body were on the fire
department situation.
Mr.. Bowman moved that the matter
be referred to the Fire Board of the
Council for suggestions.
Il don't think the Fire Board could
accomplish anything by ITSELF" SAID

I'VE may lust as well turn the horses
cut in the iield. We are not in posi-
ton to use the equipment Something
will have TO be done if we are going
to protect the city against fire"
Councilman Bowman then moved
that the proposition be referred to the
Judiciary Committee and the Fire
Board, with instructions to draft an
other ordinance calling for the second
special election. The motion was
passed without a dissenting vote, and
The measure was ordered to be ready
for the next meeting, at which time it
will be passed and the date set for the
special election.
Mayor Rage and the members of the
City Council are unanimous in their
efforts to save the city frcm Il disas-
trOus fire. While they were somewhat
disappointed that the bond issue did
rot carry At yesterdays election, they
were convinced that majority of the
people favored it.
at was Just matter of no active
interest being taken" said Mr.. Rage.
"Scor2s of people who were for the
bond issue took the stand that their
support was unnecessary. 1t Just
illustrates how important it is TO vote
upon all questions. If we should have
big fire, the people would regret it
for years to come, but the tendency is
to wait too long. | believed the bond
