Final balance u.l3 per cent? ....s 26O,5

A majority vote of councils can pro-
vide, after June /, that a proposed is
sue be submitted to popular vote at
the November election. The ordinance
must provide not only the total amount
of the proposed issue but must desig-
nate how it is to be divided, the pur-
poses and amounts.
THE SEWER IMPROVEMENTS.
The only improvements enumerated
in the foregoing statement that would
not be subject to much change are the
sewer improvements. Further it is cer-
tain that sewers would be included in
any bond proposition amounting to
more than 100000. For repaving it is
equally certain that some provision
would be made, though possibly not for
so many blocks as are indicated in the
statement. For Lackawanna avenue to
Washington avenue and for the later
to Gibson street, however such a popu-
lar clamor has been raised by the
board of trade and property owners
and individuals generally who use
horses, that those sections would posi-
lively be provided for.
Under the head of general improve
ments the most likely items are for
opening wyoming avenue, for a bridge
at the Driving park, for a fire and
police headquarters and for improve
ments to the city hall and grounds
The Viaduct, park improvements and
other items are unknown quantities,
although the public, ii is believed, would
most willingly vote $4,000 for parks IL
councilmanic pulls did not keep that
item off the issue to be voted for,
The only well-fancied items under the
head of street improvements are those
involving $4,000 for the Strengthening
and paving of Mates street and $4,000
for the city's share of the upper Lack
awanna avenue pavement. For the
Mates street improvement the central
city and South Side wards would stand
solid
Until some time after the annual re-
organization OF councils, nearly three
weeks hence, the bond issue idea will
not be mentioned in councils to any
definite end.
