BOND ISSUE TO
VOTE OF Pc 0 Ii
Mayor Prepares Substitute Ate,
vetoing Ordinance for New
Lighting Plant.
Mayor Mccarthy. whose veto message

Mayor Mccarthy, whose veto message
Of the electric bond ordinance will be
considered by the Common Council on
Monday night. has prepared a suhsti-
tute which meets the objections raised
i'll his veto message. 1T will be pre-
scented by a member of the Council.
and after reference Will come UP for
action at the July meeting.
While 1t differs from the former
message passed by both branches OF
the Council In a number of details,
especially as TO the manner of the
erection OF the plant and the specifi
cations of the committees of the
work will be done, and who
will sign the vouchers for the payment,
the principal difference lies In the fact
that the bonds are not to be charged
against the general bond limit of the
city. but must be made a separate is
sue charged against the proposed plant.
Wants Vote In July.
In order to have the bonds so charg
ed. the Mayors substitute provides
for a special election to be held OH
July 18th, when the question of the
issuance of sS50.oo0 of bonds will be
submitted TO the vote of the people.
1t will be recalled that the Mayor
vetoed former proposition to submit
tire issue to vote in the general cleo
ton on the ground that 1t would be
impossible to get general expression
from the people in that election.
Though the Mayor has declined to
make public the text OF his veto mes
sage which viii be presented to the
Council on Monday night, he person
ally delivered to an afternoon paper
yesterday draft of the new ordin-
ance which he has prepared as sub
stitute. In support Of his new pro-
position he quotes section 127 OF the
Constitution to show that such plant
as 1t proposed could be built on special
bonds not included III the bond limit.
In statement he shows that the city
Is already dangerously near it's bond
! ed limit; that improvements now under
construction, including work at the
gas works and the new High School
will still further increase the bonded
debt, while the city is facing the
necessity of making better bridge
facilities with Manchester, the proposi-
| ton for buying the docks Is pending
and the large area included in the an
ncxed territory is In urgent need OF
| further expenditure. The Mayor Is OF
| the opinion, therefore, that any issue
which can be made outside of the
| limit of IS per cent. should not be al
lowed to come within the bond limit.

until the desired standard is reached.
Being the annual meeting, there was a
large attendance, many prominent
members being present to offer sug-
sestions and cncourag cement, for the
coming year.
Though there has been much talk
recently about the probability of dis
banding, the club was enthusiastically
in favor of maintaining the spring
concerts. with the greatest confidence
Of ultimate success.
AS the membership now stands, it
only falls short of the c>s.re, num-
Der, by very small margin, and from
the expression last night there seemed
TO be no doubt about the fact that
the desired number can be obtained
with little trouble. Thoroughly con-
WINGED that the club was on firm
basis, the advisability of giving five
concerts year ms ead of three was
considered. However, 1t vas agreed
TO hold the number down to three.
Captain A. B. Guigon expressed the
opinion that the Richmond public did
not desire five concerts. He believed
that with three, as at present, and
with concentrated .I-cton on the part

The journey was begun at the City

Street to the Jefferson Davis Monu-
ment, where the trail was struck for
the verdant country. All the way the
children stood up in the automobiles
and wildly waved their flags at every
body they passed. Threats that had
long been unaccustomed to cheers
burst forth uproariously, and mothers
who stood in spacious doorwalks
watching the pathetic procession--for
it was pathetic in certain sense
pressed their own children closer to

Farmers Educational Cooperative

man, state organizer for the move
ment, who is spending a few days

Friday that he would start organiza-

There are many things that the
fruit growers and wheat men, who
now form the principal part of our
membership. can do in unison and
for the benefit of the entire state
said Organizer Gilmore Friday. "In
the first place. there is the general
problem Of railroad facilities. Get
the wheat men and the fruit men OF
eastern Washington into the same
organization, and they can have a
big power with the railroads and gel
what they need.
"Then the fruit men can help the
wheat growers by showing and tell
ing them what should be done with
orchards. There are many dry-farm-
ers that have orchards, but they are
not kept up to standard. Now, the
fruit men can help this way to raise
