MUSCATINE 3DTJKNAC 'AND' NEWS-TKIBTOTE -THUIISPAY, MAY 30,1940 Final Preparations Are Being Made Here for Primary Vote Jane 3 Preparations for the biennial primary election scheduled for Monday, June 3, were nearing the completion stage in Muscatine county today. County Auditor E. Swickard reported today that all voting machines but one in the county and city had been installed. The remaining one, which has been on display at the court house, will be removed to the third ward, first precinct voting place at the Mus- catine Home Society building, Friday or Saturday. Poll books and other necessary materials will be delivered to election officials in the various voting precincts on Friday and Saturday, the county auditor said.

Meanwhile, absent voter balloting was proceeding at a comparatively slow rate here. Approximately 100 applications for ballots had been received from sick and disabled persons and others not expecting to be in the county Monday, when the court house closed Wednesday afternoon. It is emphasized that these ballots must be returned to the auditor's office prior to the day o. cannot be cast on Monday. Polls Monday, Mr.

Storickard announced, will remain open from 7 a. m. to 8 p. in the city and from 8 a. m.

to 8 p. m. in the other townships of the county. The regular voting places wil be used, with the exception of two townships Bloomington where voters will cast their ballots in the Kalorama school, anc Wapsie, where machines have been installed in the Kieinert garage on Calhoun street. Society Hydro-Electric Gets Permission to Change Road 0 The Iowa Hydro-Electric Cooperative of Muscatine today had secured the permission of the state highway commission to make necessary changes in Highway 6 through this section, if a proposed three-million dollar dam is constructed near Moscow.

The commission granted permission for the highway changes, according to Fred R. White, its chief engineer, on condition that the cooperative would pay the approximately $300,000 the alter ations would cost. Securing of the highway commission's approval removes one of the obstacles to obtaining authority from the state executive council for constructing the dam. The council at Des Moines last month rejected the cooperative's application, and gave as one of its grounds organization, had not received permission, from the highway commission. 1 Construction of the dam would make it necessary to raise Highway 6 and to make several changes in bridges, White said.

The proposed dam would be 9,750 feet long and 35 feet high, and calculated to develop 20,000 horsepower. A. A. Counch, president of the state Federation of Labor, said Wednesday night the state executive council would be asked to reconsider its previous denial of 0 the application for the project. The finish on automobile bodies most preferred by American car owners is black.
