they have no knowledge Of the source

Canada was not the only source. They

.TAXLEvY FOR PARK
WINS BY 87vOTES
Bonds for Issue for Maintenance OF
Browning Field Defeated by Mar
row Margin OF fl Ballots.
SMALL INTEREST IN ELECTION
Total of 1919 People Express Senti-
ment on First and 1891 on Sec
Ond Proposition.

An apathy among the great major
ity Of men and women voters Of the
city marked a special election yester-
day which resulted in the proposition
to levy q 3-miIl tax for park mainte-
nance carrying by 81 votes, the pro
posaI to issue bonds for Browning field
being defeated by the narrow margin
Of "A votes.
The result was a surprise. 1t had
been generally supposed that the two
propositions would be carried together
or would go down together, but among
those who did consider the possibility
Of one being carried and the other de-
feated, it was felt that the Browning
field issue would be the one to win,
as that was believed 20 be the more
popular measure of the two.
Unofficial returns compiled show
that only 1919 votes were east on the
park tax issue and only 1894 on the
Browning field proposal.
Votes Of men defeated both pro-
posals, the Women's vote proving
the deciding factor in the park tax
matter. Men cast 443 votes in favor
of the park tax and 4S4 against, while
women cast $50 for and 1872 against
On Browning field, men cast 415 votes
for and SIS votes against, while wom-
en- cast 260 for and 141 ,-ainst.
1t is generally regretted that such
a small vote was cast. as it is felt that
the result is not fair expression Of
the sentiment of the electorate as a
whole, the total number of votes cast
yesterday being only a small fraction
OF the total number of votes in the
city.
The levying of the 3-milI park tax,
as authorized, will afford an annual
revenue of approximately $4,000 to
the city This will, of course. not be
available this year but Will be next
year. Its passage means that Moline
will be able to maintain its fine sys-
TEN of parks.
Effect on Browning Field.
Just what effect the defeat of the
proposal to issue bonds of $4,000 for
will have is not yet certain. The city
commissioners Will do their best to
complete improvements there as soon
as possible, but in view of the major
ity vote against the proposition yes
terday, it is probable that they will
not feel justified in straining financial
resources of the city to complete the
work Immediately
There is a possibility also that many
Of the improvements planned for
Browning field will be dispensed with,
