SEWER BONDS TO
 BE VOTED
Canvass So Far Made by Review Shows One
 In Ten Opposed

That the sewer bonds will be voted at the election to be held on February 5th. is now practically assured.
 From 8 list of ten registered voters. during a house to house canvass being made by the Review, shows that so far only one in ten Is opposed to the success of the sewer bonds. Proper ty owners are thoroughly alive to the fact that failure to carry the sewer bond election means a depreciation in the valuation of property interests in Bisbee. Snd stagnation in the way of improvements, at the same time pro viding a guard against disease.
 At meeting held by the Chamber of Commerce last evening the committee appointed to prepare clear and plain statement of the sewer bond question for the benefit of the voters, reported that data and figures were being com piled. and it was the expectation that the copy would be ready for the printer not later than Saturday.
 The committee appointed to confer with the Water Company reported that the company had agreed to withdraw its franchise from consideration of the voters, ard had agreed to a revision of the franchise as at present worded, which will be presented to the people for their approval or rejection at a lat- CT date. The sections which were ob- jected to by the committee from the Chamber of Commerce were the 25- year contract clause. the paragraph with reference to meter rates. and an insertion of an expressed provision that nothing in the franchise should be con strue das a waiver on the part of the people of their right to buy, or con struct. their own municipal water plant during the life of the franchise.
 It Is expected that representatives Of the water company will appear be- fore the Council and ask permission to withdraw the present franchise at their next meeting.
