Chairman Carl Cody stated that the Commissioners hoped to secure as large a vote as possible upon this question and felt that holding such referendum at the estab lished time for elections would se cure the benefit of state-wide pub licity and assure a large and rep resentative vote in the county.

The county could save four or five thousand dollars in payment of election officials and other expenses, and we need to save all we can. It is my under standing that there has been no decision about where the school will be located, but I am sore the people of the county will want to know that before they vote."
