BILL TO BOND
W|NNEMUCCA
Full Text of the Measure Pro-
posed in the Assembly
Last Friday

The following is the full text of the
bill introduced in the legislature last Fri
day providing for the bonding of the
900 to build new water works, an electric
light plant and for sewer purposes If
the friends of the measure had asked
for million dollar bond issue the bill
would not have been any more ridiculous.
II is not at all likely that the bill will
ever see the light of day again and the
light to be maze by it's provisions will
be at least so years in getting here, so
those of US who are in the flesh at the
present day will be laid away Perhaps
some of the little kids of the present
for sewer light and water: II not. the
generation yet unborn may see to read
by the light so furnished.
Following is the bill in full:
