The Rod River County Commis-
0 ' sionerc’ Court will convene in spocial
© session on the afternoon of Tuesday,
• Tune 8. for the purpose of ordering
© another road bond election in the
Clarksville district. This informa-
tion was conveyed in an official no-
tice published in The Times of Tues-
day, odathe signatures of .Judge
Morrism^knd County Clerk Tipping.
This notice contained the bound-
;irie of 'bo distrX votod upon
May 1, and al.sd the names of the'
signers of the new petition.
Other Elections Probable.
It is ^jdersfoori that other road
bond e^^mms will also likely
ordered the same time, r.nd that
notice of such elections will be giv-
en publication in the newspapers to-
day.
Since it is necessary that another
vote be polled in the Clarksville dis-
trict precautions are being taken by
the other districts of the county, and
at least six or seven districts now in-
terested in road bond campaigns,
will revise their records and ask for
new orders, before proceeding with
the election.
These districts are:
Clarksville district. $300,000.
Whitetock district. $23,000.
Annona' district. $50,000.
English district. $20,000.
Bogata district, $25,000.
Madras district. $25,000.
It is understood that petitions
will likely be filed making separate
districts of tho Bogata and Fulbright
districts. When the good road move-
ment was started in that section it
was the intention, at least of the
Fulbright people, that a road should
be builtfrom the town of Bogata tb
Fulbright and from Fulbright to
Clarksville, to connect with the
Clarksville district, either on the

Clarksville District Error.
General regret is experessed on
account of the error in connection
with the preparation of papers for
the Clarksville district. The error
was one which would have been
made by almost anyone who had not
devoted considerable time to such
matters, and is one which is fre-
quetly made in such instances. Ev-
en as the niatter stands, it is not
certain that an eror has been made,
as this particular proposition has,
