Four OF the large type voting ma
chimes are now being USED for ir-
struction purposes. A machine has
been Liaced IN both OF the politica-

house and city hall. Mt Harris
stated that the county comm gssion-

there were sufficient model ma

balance OF the regular voting ma
chimes should be prepared for the
