Dance With Girl Cures Crippled GI

Costly misstep delays state amendment election
A misstep by the Legislature in submitting a constitutional amendment for statewide election could cost taxpayers about 290000 dollars. Secretary of State Claud Tibbits estimated extra costs for a special election to approve the amendment, with earlier estimates around 100000 dollars. The error shifts dates for submitting the amendment on land purchase bonds for veterans, forcing additional special and general elections in 1945 and 1946, hitting county funds hardest as they bear most election costs.
