SPECIAL ELECTION
NEXT FRIDAY
wildwood Voters to Decide Upon
Proposition to Raise $115.000
by Issuing Bonds
1T SHOULD Be VOTED DOWN

A special election will be held IN
Wildwood on Friday of this week for
the purpose of voting upon the question
of issuing $115, 900 in bonds for various
improvements. While many of the
objects for which this money is to be
expended are needed, the JOURNAL
does not think it would be advisable to
have the proposition carried. The
above amount is vast sum of money
and plans should be carefully laid as
to Just how it should be expended.
We believe what the average taxpayer
wants is a relief from bonds for at least
two years. If this be done the tax rate
can most assuredly be further reduced
and the effect on the investing public
will be good. Vote down the bonding
proposition next Friday.
