The law requires all bonds
to fall due in substantially
equal annual or seni-annual
installments. In order to issue
these bonds on an economical
basis, the board has made pro-
vision to retire the entire
amount of $4,000 at a rate of
$4,000 per year, over a period
of 81 years.
Figuring on the basis of the
present tax duplicate of
$3.50, 10000, the average an
nual cost of this improvement
will be three mills, based on
the individual tax valuation.
In other words, on a 500 tax
valuation, the cost would be 80
cents but for $4,000, it would
amount to $1,000 per year.
For family with a $4,00000
tax valuation, this would only
figure $1.00 per, month. The
average individual will spend
far more than this amount on
small luxuries.
Voters in the Caldwell
school district are being urged
to go to the polls and vote in
favor of the bond issue.

Voters Receives
Instructions To
Mark Ballots
State Secretary
Issues Specific
Election Laws

Anticipating an avalanche of
scratched tickets in the rapidly
approaching general election, No
vember 2, 1948, Secretary of
State Edward j. Hummel has
sent special instructions to the
88 boards of elections throughout
the state and they in turn are to
instruct the voter in marking of
presidential, state, judicial and
questions and issues ballots.
The presiding judges in the "a
precincts of this county will be.
instructed as to the proper mark
ing of the ballot when they
gather in Caldwell, Saturday,
October 80, to pick up the neces-
sary ballots.
In special letter to j. K. Wal
kenshaw, clerk of the local board,
Secretary of State Hummel
pointed out that all ballots must
be marked with an x in order
to be valid. No ballots will be
counted that are marked with a
check or by any other means.
All voters in Noble county are
being urged to ask the clerk of
the precinct for new ballot
should they accidentally mark it
wrong. Voters were cautioned to
be especially careful in marking
their ballots at the general elec-
ton.
In a clear-cut statement, Secre-
| tary Hummel ruled that if any
voter marks a ballot with an x
in the circle under the Democra-
tic or Republican emblem and
then places an X before the name
of one or more of the twenty
five Independent (Wallace) can
didates listed on the presidential
ballot, the ballot will be declared
invalid and no vote will be
counted for any candidate.
! A ballot bearing an x in the
shaded space at the top of the
column in which the names of
the twenty-five Independent cam
didates are listed and also an x
in the circle below the Demo-
cratic and Republican nominees
will be counted as vote for the
Democratic or Republican ticket
as the case may be.
In order to clarity a mis-under-
standing which is occurring local
ly in the particular instance of
the race for county commissioner,
two to be elected, the election
laws state that any voter who
votes a straight ticket in the
party column Estate and county,
ballot and then places an x be-
fore candidate of the opposite
party will have his vote counted
for the candidate with the X
alongside his name.
! In a case of two or more can
didates running for the same of
flee, which is the case in this
county, the only candidate receiv-
ing a vote will be the one with
the X appearing before his name,
in addition to the straight ticket
candidates.
The election board has been in
structed to count the presidential
ticket first and then only the
state section of the party column
ballot. Precinct workers will be
counting out votes until the wee
hours, Wednesday morning, Mo-
vember 3, in what should be a
heavy vote for this county.
