The statute provides tiiat ten days clear notice shall consist of ten days not including the first aifil last days. This would exclude tho clay of publicationMarch 23 and yesterday, the day net for the canvass, so that in this case there were but nine clear days. Sundays are not Included in reckoning. It was clear that the neceseary notice had not been given and It was in the hope of remedying this tthat an adjournment was taken today. Ordinarily In computing time of service rule of section 48 is used.

This provides for the exclusion of the first day and the inclusion of the last day except when the last day falls on Sunday, when the time Is extended to include all of the following Monday. But In this case clear notice and not ordinary notice is required, so the rule does not apply.

cannot afford to resume business under an illegal petition and should we go on with the canvass at this- time and It would develop that the publication invalidates the petition, why there would be no recourse but to close up until next year for the law prohibits the canvassing of more bhan one petition in a year." Hoard Likely to Take Long Recess. The likely course, however, and one that was under consideration last night, is to have the board of supervisors take a recess from time to time without adjourning, so that the present or regular session can be continued until such a time as will afford opportunity for the publication of a second notice of intent to canvass the petition. The" necessity of continuing this session for this purpose Is apparent from tihe reading of the portion of section quoted, which provides that the canvass shall be made at a regular session. This Is one of the regular sessions provided for in the code. This was suggested to the board members by the attorneys last evening as their probable course, and acting on the this suggestion the usual motion to adjourn was not put when the board concluded its session last evening.

Instead it was moved tthat the board take a recess to 9 o'clock this morning, and the motion carried without a dissenting vote. It is more than likely the regular session will be continued in this way until a new publication can be had, which would mean at least twelve and probably more than that number of days from next Friday, which will be the date of publication of the Valley Junction Express, the one of the official papers of the county to go to press that late in the week. Judge Spurrier, representing a number of temperance people, was quick to see the effect of canvassing the petition without the required ten days clear notice having been published in the Valley Junction Express and when the board convened yesterday morning was on hartd with a remonstrance against coninuing the time of canvassing to toilfy. lie wanted the board to act on tte petition yesterday and undoubtedly his purpose was to take ad-vantaao of the faulty publication of 110-tive invalidate the statemrnt of con-sentmid having secured Its canvass, theliy to close all tho saloons until net year.
