be of exceptional Importance. Every vote that is
cast should be properly counted, and that with
out undue delay. 1t seems to work out that at
about every election one or two precincts are
very slow in counting out and making returns to
the county board. In fact, it happens about ev-
cry election, that in spite of all of the instructions
and caution given by the secretary OF state and
county election board one or more precincts are
many hours behind the others in getting their re-
turns to the county board thus holding up the
complete tabulation of the county for many hours
sometimes until the afternoon of the next day.
We call attention to these facts in order that it
may be realized how very important it is to have
the right sort of precinct election officials
There is plenty of good election official tifnber
in both parties in every precinct in Morganscoun-
ty Morgan county with one of the smallest pop
ulations of any county in the state, has been at
times, among the last to make complete report
simply because precinct in the county has
been slow in making returns to the county board
Instead of being of the last at the coming
election let's try and be among the first. 1t car
be done provided the proper precinct officials are
selected.

PARK PROGRAM
TO START SOON
WPA Grants Make Pos.
sibIe Greatest Develop.
ments in History

Plans arc all prepared for Il broad
park improvement program as soon
as final approval Is given u WPA al
lotment of $4ll,200 for this city,
Supt. OF Parks James j. Curtin said
today. President Roosevelt yester-
day formally approved the project
application, which has been hanging
fire for more than year, and II Is
expected that the money will be
made available soon.
Mayor Vincent A. Schlly said to-
day that the city will do everything
possible 10 take full advantage of
the WPA allotment. Present WPA
reglations require that the city, as
sponsor of the project, contribute
at least rs per cent Of the total
cost. In most cases this Is done
largely In the form of materials and
equipment which serves to keep
down cash expenditures when mate
rails and equipment are already on
hand.
The city probably will allot funds
as Its share OF the project on a time
to-time basis. This plan, now fol-
lowed with WPA sanitary sewer
projects, provides for city payments
only enough to keep the project
moving.
The federal money, which will be
spent mostly for labor, will make
possible one of the greatest park
development programs In the city's
history. 1t will allow the making
of badly needed repairs, the expan-
sion of present facilities, the laying
out of new sports fields, etc.
Only o few days ago, Supt. Curtin
reported to the board OF park COM
missioners that the number of base
ball and softball fields In the parks
was not sufficient to meet the re-
quests of all groups seeking playing
space. One of the first steps in the
new WPA program will be the lay
ing-out of new diamonds, especially
at Hamilton park. where it is
planned TO set out several new fields.
Additional care of trees and shrubs
In the parks will also be possible, as
we'll as many improvements for
which the city could not afford to
pay the full cost. Further improve
ments at the municipal golf course
will be made.
