If the charter changing plans of the
council are indorsed by the people, the
city will be brought out of the finan-
cial slough of despond" in which It
has been floundering of late, and many
long-needed public improvements will
be made possible.
At the special council meeting Sat-
urday night the changing of the char
ter was the special order of the day,
and the question was taken UP with
a relish. All through the present ad-
ministration and especially during the
past six months the city has been
hampered by bankrupt treasury and
the idea of being able to secure funds
with which to "do things" was pleas
ing to all present.
After an extended caucus 1t was
agreed by the councilmen that money
was needed for different purposes as
follows: The erection of a city hall,
$4,000; for redeeming levee bonds,
SS0,000: for extending the levee, $780,
900; for extending the sewer system,
$4,000; for paying off the city's
street paving Indebtedness, $4,000;
for improving Olney cemetery, $4,000.
Total, $4,000.
1t was calculated that in order to
provide means for carrying on the
above improvements it will be neces-
sary to increase the city's bonded in
debtedness to s225, 900. With such
an Indebtedness the annual interest
payments would amount to s11,250,
instead of the $4,000 per annum which
the city now pays. In order to meet
the increased payment it is estimated
that an increase of mills in the city
tax levy will be necessary.
1t was suggested that in selling the
new bonds preference be given small
local bidders, as has been done with
success in Salem and other places.
The bonds will bear per cent in
terest.
City Attorney McCourt has been in
structed to draft a charter embody-
ing the desired changes and to SUBJ
nit the same to the council when
completed. 1t is then proposed to
have a mass meeting at which all may
have an opportunity to express them
selves and propose new changes or
oppose those suggested. After the
meeting an initiative petition asking
for the new charter will be circulated
and presented to the council. The
council will then order special
charter election, at which the charter
shall be adopted or rejected by the
voters.
