new ELECTION
DECIDED UPON
BY COMMISSION
WaterwOrks Bond Issue Will
Again BE Submitted to
Voters Of Mandan

Another special election will be
called in the near future for the re-
submis sion Of the waterworks bond
ing issue TO the people of Mandan,
it was decided by the city commits
si0ners ut meeting last night. The
call has not yet been issued, as the
commission will await the return of
City Attorney L. H. Connolly. who
is visiting in Wisconsin, before 60
ing ahead with the matter. The
drawing up of the resolution in legal
form will be left to him and the call
for the election wiHrbe issued in ac-
c0rdance with it.
The commissioners decided last
night to split the proposition, maxi
ing one question of the construction
of new reservoir and another ques-
ton Of the construction of another
water main. The passage of the
questions will call for bond issue,
but the total amount could not be
definitely set forth at the city au-
ditor's office this morning.
It is the belief Of some people in
the city that the bond issue which
was voted on few weeks ago was
defeated by the apathy Of the vot-
ers, and that il those who favored it
had taken the trouble to get out and
vote, it would have carried without
difficulty.
