School Bond Issue Defeated
By Voters Tuesday

The proposed school bond is
sue, amounting to 81, 100000. was
voted down in the special election
held at all precincts in the coun-
ty Tuesday by a majority of 949.
On the surface, but little inter
est was manifested in the election
until election morning, when the
voters turned out in unusually
large numbers for a special cleo
ton. There was no organized op-
position to the bond issue, but
evidently the amount of the pro-
posed bond issue appeared too
large to the voters.
Ali magisterial districts in the
county voted against the bond
issue, Clintwood district by 253;
Ervinton by 1903; Kennedy by 29l;
Sand Lick by 259, and Willis by
40. In Willis district, Bartlick
voted IA for the bond issue to
against. Grassy voted solidly
against it with IL votes.
It is rumored that supporters of
the bond issue will forthwith get
up a petition for another election
on the same issue, and, according
to understanding, if they present
a petition signed by the required
number of voters the court will
have to grant another election.
Below is the vote by precincts:

TITANIA, LST 11l0. LST l14G and the ice breaker US BURTON ISLAND. Ships will load first at Port Hueneme, California and then proceed to San Francisco and Seattle for further supplies.
 The expedition will carry about 25,O00 tons of cargo, full years supply for the inhabitants of Nav al Petroleum Reserve No. 4. q 35,000 square mile area lying wei! within the Arctic Circle.
 In addition to Navy supplies, the expedition will carry Army equipment, Coast and Geodetic Survey supplies, and supplies for the Office of Indian Affairs. port facilities along the Arctic
 Because there arc no docks or coastlinc, comercial methods of delivering cargo in conventional ships cannot be used. The job calls for amphibious techniques, g naval development of World War II, which enabled huge quan- t;ties of supplies to be landed over beaches. The expedition will be planned and conducted in much the same manner as the amphbious operations during the last war.
 In the vicinity of Point Barrow the Arctic Sea is solid mass of ice for all but a short and uncer- tain period in midsummer, when the ice recedes from the shore line under the action of favorable winds and currents. leaving suf- ficicnt open water for the ships to reach the landing beaches. A change in wind direction may move the ice cap back to the beach and the ships must be pre- pared to clear the area in such an event to avoid being trapped by the returning ice field. Shore based reconnaissance planes will be used to forecast ice movement
 The expedition is scheduled to unload it's entire cargo in less tran a week in mid-Auoust and return hastily to the safety of the open sea.
 While the cargo ships are un- loading at Point Barrow the two LSTs led by the ice breaker will make their way through alternate patches of pack ice and open wat CT 300 miles eastward to Barter Island where they will deliver further supplies.
 The task of unloading will be accomplished by the ships crew working around the clock. aided by the Arctic midnight sun.
 This will be the fifth summer the Navy has conducted a Point Barrow expedition.

 Because an alley has been blocked by dirt and the city is not ready to open it for traffic the owner of the dirt will be ask cd to remove same at once.
 A change in a traffic ordinance will be made so as to leave to the discretion of the magistrate the removal of a drivers license for period of 30 60 or 90 days
 It seems that Harry Mann bid on lot 1, block 10 and no record of the bid which was in writing is at hand.
 This was before the last coun- cil left office and the lot was later sold to Fern Burke.
 MT. Mann is extremely put out and contends that he should have the lot which was sold for 5000 and which he had bid more on. The city attorney will be called upon to settle the controversy. without legal action, it is hoped, as one councilman stated.
