The':-rr50.000 county bond issue proposition to construct and fully equip new buildmg: on the county poor farm at Libertyville and to make repairs on present buildinga was decisively defeated Tuesday by the voters of Lake county at the special election. The bond issue lost by 3,730 votes, being beaten by rearly a five to one margin. A light vote for county election was cast, the total vote being a few less than 5,800, but nevertheless this is considered a fair vote at a special el%cgion on a bond issue question. The vote for the bond is-- sue 2was. 1012 and the vote against 4,742. E fnmmmmueMMedan additional tax of three cents on each $100 valuation of taxable property would have been imposed. From the vote it is seen that taxpayers of Lake county could not see any necessity of adding more taxes. In Waukegan township the vote was 12 to 1 against the bornid issue, there being 199 for the issue and * 2478 opposed. Omitting the three North Chicago precincts in Waukegan town~ ship the City of Waukegan is shown to have been better than 11 to 1 against the bond issue. In the City of Waukegan 173 voted for the bond issue and 2,083 against. 1 The Village of Libertyville, where the poor farm is located voted nearly 10 to--1 against the proposition, the quested to continue in that capacity. r.

The fact that the proposition did not get the solid 2000 vote of Voliva was a heavy blow to the supporters of the bond issue, as they had expected Zion to be favor-- able.
