ALL READY FOR
SPECIAL BOND
ELECTIONTODAY
FINAL UREPARATION CLOSED UP BY
CANVASSING COMMITTEE WHICH
HELD MEETING YESTERDAY IN
CITY CLERKS OFFICE.

Preparations for the special bond
election today were completed yester-
day afternoon in the city clerks office
when the special canvassing commit
tee consisting of Tax Collector John
G.. Welsh. Clerk l.. Heinberg. and
Comptroller C. w. Eggart, got togeth-
er and arranged the boxes TO go to
different polls at an early hour this
morning. Polls will open at o'clock
this morning and may remain at the
service of some so7 qualified voters
until 729 o'clock this evening when
the sun officially sets. At that time
according to the ordinance. polls will
close, which will be at sundown.
Every detail was prepared last even
ing. even to the furnishing of meals
to the inspector and clerks who go
on duty promptly at s O'Clock this
for dinner at t2 or 1 o'clock.
That a good vote will be polled was
the opinion at the city hall last even
ing. Considerable interest has been
manifested very recently on the part
of many taxpayers who had hitherto
given the question less attention than
it deserved. A number admitted that
an editorial carried by The PensacoIa
Journal of yesterday morning gave
them a clearer idea of thes question
that they had been laboring under. and
that they would vote and work for the
issue.
Mayor Sanders and the other two
commissioners will interest themselves
in the success of the bond issue to
their best efforts today. They arranged
their affairs at the city hall yesterday y
to permit them to circulate quite free
ly with the public today, and to try
and get voters to the polls by showing
the unduly careless voter his duty in
the premises. A number. according to
statements made at the city nall yes
terday, appear to be laboring under the
impression that the election was not
such an important matter. and it Is
this class of voter that will be shown
his duty and the urgency of his favor
