one thing is certain and that is there
will be no question Of a bond issue sub
mitted at the November election. Mayor
Koutsky dropped into The Bee ONCE last
night and said that he understood the tax
payers did not favor an issue of bonds
at this time and therefore he would not
call for the election. There has been a
desire to have bonds OF various sorts is
sued. These bonds would be in the nature
OF general Indebtedness bonds and would
call for an increase in the interest account.
At the present time the city is carrying
an indebtedness Of s3O7. 900 and a district in
debtedness of 1926. 600.
There is an overlap Of about $50, 600, which
Will have to be taken care OF some way.
else the h,e ard police departments will
have to discount their warrants for some
months to come. The only help, so It is
stated now. is for the business men to get
together and ask the Legislature to amend
the charter so that there will be an in
crease in spportionment Of all Of the funds.
Registration on Thursday.
Thursday of this week will be the first
day Of registration and an effort is being
made by the republicans to get out as many
voters as possible on that day. Every per-
son entitled to a vote must register this
fall. There will be three days Of registra-
ton. The other days will fall on October

street Needs Attention.
The water and gas companies assert
that the big hole in the street at Twenty
second and L streets is in need of imme-
date attention by the city street depart
ment. Unless some action is taken soon
the pipes Of both Of the companies men
toned will be exposed to the weather and
this will, II is asserted, work a hardship
on the patrons Of the companies mentioned.
City Engineer Beal, who lie in charge of
the street department. has been requested
to get busy and do something. He is wait
ing. however, on the orders Of the council,
/. as dirt for this filling was ordered some
time ago from the lot at Twenty-hfth and
, NJ streets, but this has never been de-
livered. AS there is no prospect of dirt
+, from this locality this fall the city will
' have to look elsewhere for material with
which to make this fill.
Station at stock Yards.
9 While all the furnishings for the sub
station at the stock yards are not in posi-
tion the station will be opened today. The
station will be located at the south end Of
the balcony in the new building. Stamps
d and money orders will be sold and mail
will be collected, but DO deliveries will be
made at this station. 1t IS expected that
the packers and the banks, as we'll as the
Union Stock Yards company, will avail
themselves Of the opportunity to send mail
to the trains as quickly as possible by
using this station instead Of using mes
senger service to catch late trains. Com
mission men doing business al the yards
will also be given increased accommoda-
tions as far as mail facilities are con
cerned. c. w. Miller will have charge OF
this substation and one Of the clerks out
p Of the postofhce here will most likely be
assigned to duty with Mr.. Miller.
Mayors Proclamation.
y In a proclamation issued by Mayor
" Koutsky yesterday 1t is stated there will
be a special election to vote upon the prop
osition to grant a franchise to the Inter
state Independent Telephone company. This

the charter. The other two application
" for franchises have not been signed by the
mayor, neither have they been printed in
