The voters of Philadelphia went on record
with a majority of some $4,000 on Tuesday in
favor of the proposition to increase the funded
debt OF the city by IN addition of $l2. 900, 900
for public improvements. The present debt OF
Philadelphia is $50, 900, 600, about half the
debt of the present city Of New York. and the
proposition to add $40. 900. 900 to it was resisted
by many conservative Philadclphians on the
ground that the proposed improvements were
dangerous innovations, and 20, 900 Phila-
delphians voted against tho increase of the debt.
The uses TO which the money derived from
tho bonds Is to be put are various. Among them
arc a new almshouse, tho abolition OF grade
crossings, new police and fire stations, street
paving, sewers. ana additional water supply.
For water 80, 700. 900 is TO be disbursed and
