stands there now.
Question has been raised as to the
right of women to vote upon the bond
issue. 1t has been stated that when
the bond issue for the new high school
was voted women were not allowed
to ballot This is true, but it is eX-
planned the high school proposition
was voted on before the suffrage bill
was passed by the state legislature,
and by virtue of this bill the women
can vote on bond issues.
Anticipating an unusually heavy
vote-that is, for school election
the board has decided to establish
four polling places in the city, one OF
which will be at the Seventh stree,
school house.
