TOWNSHIP WILL HOLD ELECTION 'ON FIRE TAX LEVY Date Has Been Set By Trustees F o r Sept. 26th The b'ranklin Township Trustees, voted on Tuesday evening to hold mother election on the levying of a tax of up to one mill for purchas- ing, owning, renting or maintaining fire apparatus or equipment. Tues- day, Sept. 26th was the date set for the election. Although this sante measure re- ?cived 83 yes votes to 11 no votes tt an election on August 15th, it 'acked eight votes of carrying' bc- 'ause under the peculiar provi- Mons of the law the nleasure must carry by 60 pet" cent of the vet, east in the last preceeding general election. The Trustees have made a careful cheek of the poll books ~t the last general election and be- lieve that there must i)e 91 yes votes to carry the proposition. Discussion among ~armers sinc( the election has brought out the fact that not all of those interest- ed in having fire protection had realized the importance of voting and of Lbringing their wife to vote as in most cases both husband and wife voted in the general election. The proposition to be voted on merely authorizes the Trustees to levy a tax up to one mill for the purchase or rental of fire apparatus and equipment. What equipment is rented or purchased, if the tax is authorized, will be up to the Trustees. The maxinlunl tax ~or any one year iander this levy would be ten cents for each $100 of assessed val- uation. The polls will be opened at eight o'clock in the City Hall at ,Mount Vernon and will remain open until eight o'clock in the evening. The Trustees and township clerk wil act as judges and clerks of the election. Mr. and Mr~ E. B.
