VOTED MONEY - Canon City,
through its city council, has just ap-
propriated tell sum of e, 800 to buy "a
site for the Tri-Bullion smelter, which
that city hopes to get, we observe by
reading the Canon City Cannon.
A Florence man who professe to
know something about the state laws,
says that the act is illegal and in fact
has shown us article 2 of section II of
the Colorado laws which is plain on
this matter This Florence party is
IA holder of real estate in Canon and
says he is not going to pay for Canon
City smelters in such manner and
he is not the only Florentine owning
property in Canon. The issuance of
public funds for such enterprises is
purely illegal and Florence did 1t
once. Public officers should bear in
mind that when they spend the
peoples money in such manner
that they are personally liable for
the same.

laying a new pipe line from the pump

paid off as soon as they can be paid.
This can be done without any tax
levy whatever. AT the presen time
twenty-five mills of the total of Flor
ence city taxes goes to the water de-
partment in one way and another.
With this scheme in force these taxes
can be cut considerably. At the end
of two years the twenty-five Mills can
be taken off entirely or fifteen mills
can be taken off, leaving ten mills to
apply onto the old general fund debt.
By doing this the general fund debt
can be wiped out. Then the city
will have no debt only that which
can be taken care of by the water
