Bisbee daily review., 1906-01-26
BOND ELECTION
 WILL CARRY
This is General Opinion of Property Owners In
 the City

tration for the qualified voters for the sewer bond election to be held in this city on February 5th, next. Three hundred taxpayers of the city have registered. and of this number 1t re- quires two hundred affirmative votes iI order taht the sewer bonds may carry. So far there is very little if any opposition to voting sSo,000 worth of bonds in order that the unsanitary condition of B!sbee may be cured. Property owners, who constitute the great majority of qualified voters. see the direct pecuniary benefit to be de rived by an increase in all real estate values immediately following the in stallation of the sewer system.
 There is a mistaken idea in some quarters to the effect that only the business sections of the city will be severed. An inspection of the maps on file at the City Clerks office. shows that every residence, within the incor- porated limits will be within reach of sewer lateral. Up to this time there has been no electioneering for the sewer, and with the exception of some work to be done by the Cham Der of Commerce, in the way of issu- ing a printed pamphlet, showing the benefits to be derived, there will be ncre. The sewer bond question stands by itself on it's own merits. and there is no doubt now but what the property owners will vote the bonds. It is very plain that fl is for their best interests to do so.
 The sewer system is a municipal proposition. IL will be owned by the city and paid for by the taxpayers of the city, and the Review hopes that the day is not far distant when the taxpayers win be able 10 own their own municipal water plant. But all of these things cen not come at once. In the meantime let LIS do the best we can to relieve the unsanitary condition and take a long stride forward
 Of the six qualified voters who were seen yesterday concerning the sewer bond proposition, two are not in favor of it. One was not ready to make an answer. but stated that so far as he had looked into the matter be would oppose it. The following are the state ments made when asked concerning inc proposition by representative of the Review:
 George Heninger, of the Maize sa- loon: 'T am in favor of the sewer bonds, because Bisbee needs this i'm proyement. The way the proposition appeals to me is that it is up to the people of Bisbee to either turn down an improvement which it should have had before now, or be progressive and vote the bonds. I am going to vote for the sewer bonds"
 Sam HoIlinsworth, of Chihuahua Hill, said: T will not vote for the sewer bonds, because the city is deep enough in debt am also believer in municipal ownership. The propo- sition which the people are to vote for February is just a forerunner of loading the franchise on the people. I will do what I can to defeat it"
 John Hughes, living on School Hill: T believe the people of Bisbee should provide for sewer. am in favor of it. The principal objections to the sewer comes from people who live away from the main part of town. They claim they would be compelled to pay their part of the sewer bonds without deriving any benefit from it. I am going to vote for the sewer bonds"
 Attorney Ross. of the law firm of Neal and Ross: From what I know about the sewer bond proposition, I am at the present time opposed to it. How ever, just now I am not prepared to make a statement"
 Joseph Baughman, living up Tomb stone canyon: q favor the sewer bond election. will do everything I ca1 tn ba;p carry the honds The city needs the sewer. and needs it bad ly, and see no reason why they should not be voted"
 H. A. Johnson. living on the Naco Road: 'T am going to vote for the sewer bonds. I see no reason why anyone should oppose them I have talked with a number of voters about the matters, and they are going to vote as I do. with the exception of two, who are in favor of municipal
