Many other transports are now on the v way with units from several different divisions. , ♦ At a special election held in Clinton county Tuesday on the proposition of erecting a county hospital under the guise of a Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Liberty hospital, the vote was 583 •majority against the project.
