The qualifications of those entitled to vote are set forth by Donald: Sparling, returning officer, advertisement on page three. For. the convenience of those concerned we print here- “with a copy of the ballot. It can be studied between now and election day — Tuesday, Feb. 22. Five or less may be voted for by marking an X in the square to the right of each name. Do not vote for more than five, for by so doing your ballot: will be spoiled and not counted — for the obvious reason that the returning officer would be unable “ to’ determine your intention, beyond spoiling the ballot. in a leyal There has been keen interest within the water district for the past year concerning our local. supply of water — or lack of it at times — and it is hoped that those entitled : to vote will ‘put in an appearance next ‘Tuesday to. ‘cast “their! votes. There is hardly any excuse for. not voting as- 6 oth will remain “open. until Bs ‘clock at t night. ‘GODDARD, " Bverett Goddar d, of: Sidney, See ‘Manufacturer. a ” George Gr: ay, of Sidney, a Auto Court Oper ator. ae SyaS 5S eral Charles McLeod Lang, of Sidney, © NaErer ed Accountant.
