By a unanimous rote the members of the city commission at their weekly e?sion yesterday afternoon, voted to call a Fpecial election Tuesday, June 24, to Ret an expression from the elec torate relative te the annexation of certain districts south of the city. The "lection Is called for the same day as the school election. The question of voting at one poll ICR place was considered, but City Attorney J. F. Witter rendered the opinion that as this w as a special elec tion, even though called at the same time of the school election, it would be necessary to have a voting plarte Jn each precinct. Therefore the cun cil voted to use the regular voting places and the same Judges and clerks as used at the last general election. The polls are to be open from 7 to 5. TIIK I1ITHH T.
