polls. Public informational meetings have been scheduled at the Caldwell High School

This is the remaining balance from the last Police Station Bond Election effort. There
have been promised donations of $250.00 from the Downtown Caldwell Association and

The approximate overview of possible expenses runs in the neighborhood of $2,500 and
will be supported with public and private donations. Anyone interested in making such
donations may contact Dale Peterson for further information. Discussion was held
regarding names of businesses who donated to the Police Station Bond issue in the past
and the following names were suggested for recontact or preliminary contact for this
bond; J8�J Tire, Idaho Power, Caxton Printers, Tom Edmark, Caldwell Unlimited,
Margaret Langan, local bankers and businesses in the surrounding areas. Expenses for
the printing of 30,000 flyers was suggested as excessive and
reduction of numbers to the 20,000 range were more agreeable with the committee.
Voter Reaist. Rod Endow explained the 8 sets of lists that had been passed out at the meeting on the
13 of December and looking through each precinct for names of people you know were
very readable and easy to understand. Each committee member needs to go thru a
packet to identify yes voters names and retum the packet to Rod Endow or Allan Laird.
Dr. Basey gave his set to Dale Peterson. All lists need to be in their hands (Rod,Allan) by
the 21 of January so that stickers with those identified names can be printed and pasted
on Reminder Cards on the 26�' of January. Reminder cards will be mailed on the 28
