We have not seen the text

whether it will yet become a

OF many more legislators than
our delegation to make it a
law. We believe, however,
that properly carried out the

good one. Issuing bonds is
not SUCH q bugbear as manv
think. 1t is nothing more nor
less than a long term loan at
a low rate of interest, which
is just what we need.
Our county is ia the same
