LAW EXPLAINED
C
GOSH, WHAT A SPEED DEMON!!
J. J. SMYTHE NOMINATED FOR
MAYOR, F. I. HUBBARD AND
WM. BAKER, -in..  FOR CLERK
Unusual  interest  wm taken  in  the
primary  election  Tuesday  when    the; 	
school  bond  issue  was  passed  by  »|G0E8 ,NT0  EFFECT AUGU8T 17_
three-to-one   vote   and   Mayor    J.     J
Smythe nominated on both tickets by
a majority of votes. 'The present
council were iiguin nominated to hold
the same office. K. I. Hubbard was
nominated as clerk on the democratic
ticket and Wm. F. Baker. Jr., was
nominated for the same office on the
■■tipublh an ticket.
Marshal Miller was again nominated
for marshal with a majority of votes,
defeating Ed Mays. Wm. Colburn and
L. Harmon.
Many other names were written on
the tickets but the present officials
proved to be tho favorites.
The school bond carried by a larger
majority than was expected by those
who were backing It and they are well
satisfied with the election in that they
now know that the people realize the
need of a new school building. The
voting In every precinct was for the
bond issue, precinct A voting 64-27
for, Precinct B 181-54 for, Precinct C
74-11 for, and the north district 13-9
for. This shows a total of 332 for and
101 against.
The school board are of the opinion
that their success came through the
presenting of the plans before election,
showing the people just what kind of a
building they intended to build, just
haw much It would cost and how easily it would be to pay for it. In the
presentation of a school bond a few
years ago the measure was defeated
for that one reason and the board now
feel that it was worth the time to get
figures and have the plans made.
The passing of this bond issue
makes it possible to Issue bonds to
the extent of $126,000. The school
board will now take steps to sell the
bonds and make plans to build the
proposed building. They do not Intend to delay the building, as more
room Is needed Immediately. -
MOTHERS AND FATHERS
ATTENTION!
Have you taken that boy or girl to
your dentist yet this summer?
Have you asked your doctor about
the defect thut the county nurse found
in your child last year?
If you have asked your doctor's advice, have you acted on H?
The Lorain county public health
nurses wish to remind parents who received notices that their children's
teeth, eyes or throats need attention,
to care for them now. There is only
one month before school begins. Help
your boys and girls to do a year's
good school work by having them In
the best physical condition possible.
I It Is also asked that parents, In order to secure protection from smallpox, have their children vaccinated—
particularly those entering school for
the llrst time this fall. When successfully vaccinated the certificate -from
the doctor should be brought by the
child to school.

at orneys, all of which show that they
are not on'y deeply interested in the
Atwood law as a whole, .but in inauy

Even non-residents of the state who
contemplate taking up their residence in Ohio have been writing in,
to inquire how the law will effect

brought into the state that was purchased outside its boundaries.
Although the attorney general's of-

file airy sworn stutement of ownership, officials of the state association
estimate that fifty per cent of the motorists of the state will have to file
such statements by reason of possessing curs that huve had previous ownership when tho law goes Into effect.
