The board of supervisors completed yesterday the canvass of the written statement of general consent for sa loons, and has found the sajne suffic ient, there being about twenty more names than the required 65 per cent. In Richland, Steady Run, War ren, Prairie, Adams and Eng lish River townships, a ma jority did not sign, therefore no sa loons can be had in those townships. Jackson, Benton, Lancaster, Clear Creek .Lafayette, German, Sigourney, Van Buren, Washington and Liberty, had the requisite per cent of voters and consequently can have saloons. Sa loons can be conducted in the follow iilp towns: Ollie, in Jackson township Hedrick, in Benton township Harper, in Lafayette township Sigourney in Sigourney township, and Kinross, in Liberty towbsbip. Of course, it will be remembered that What Cheer now has saloons under the 80 per cent law.
