A CITY BOND ISSUE
A Bill For it to be FavorabIy
Reported.
A Hot Fight Was Pulled Off Before The House
Committee on This Question Yester-
day Afternoon.

There was something in the nature or
what is popularity known as "a monkey
and parrot time" before the House Com
mittee on Counties, Cities and Towns
yesterday. Warm things were said on
both sides and Rolands were given for
divers with u will that greatly amused
the by-standers if it did not startle the
members of the committee.
The question at issue was whether the
people of Raleigh should be allowed 10
vote on another $500, 000-street- improve
ment- bond-issue.
The board OF aldermen, the mayor and
other city officials. together with certain
citizens We're present favoring the bill.
Other citizens. principally large property
owners, opposed 1t most vigorously.
The discussion consumed the entire af-
ternoon and in fact was not ended until
the committee withdrew from the hall
and went into executive session. The re-
suit of its deliberations was favorable

Senate. The committee, 1t is said. was
practically unanimous in its decision
Among those who addressed the COM
mittee in behalf of the bill were Mayor
Powell, City Attorney Watson, Aldermen
Drewry. Andrews and Pegram and Sena-
tor Broughton. Among those opposing the
bill were Messrs. Alt. A. Thompson, Ed
Chambers Smith, Chas. e. Johnson, C. b.
Edwards, A. B. Stronach, DR.. T. d. Hogg
and Mr. j. n. Holding.
The opponents to the bill, which is a
copy of the former street-improvement-
bond bill, did not attack it directly, but
made their fight on the method pre-
scribed for holding the election. They
asked that the bond question be submit
ted TO the people at the time of the May
city election, or, that whenever submit
ted, it be under the registration for that
election
This the bond advocates opposed yigo-
rously. on the ground that it gave the
opponents of bonds great advantage, us

a majority of the qualified voters, all
those registered and not voting are
counted against the bonds. And this. the
aldermen claimed, gave the anti-bol
