MONROVIA, June 6.-Efforts will be
made by the majority of Monrovia' s
business men to poll the largest vote
ever recorded in the city at tomorrow s
bond election. The bonds, which will
amount to $132,000 are for the purpose
of constructing a sewer system and
building a fire department. Every eff
fort has been made to convince the citi-
zens of the foothill city of the import
ance of carrying the bonds by. an over
whelming majority.
The first and second precincts are
considered as being safely in favor OF
the bonds. The third precinct, south OF
Olive avenue, is the only one considered
at all doubtful. This comprises the
poorer section of the city. AS a two
thirds majority is necessary to carry
the bonds this consideration is seri-
Gus one The majority of the citizens,
however, who have been active in Sc
curing votes in favor of the bonds aD-
pear optimistic as to the issue.
The additional tax assessment which
will be levied, provided the bonds carry,
is considered by those who have
studied the subject as small when COM
pared with the increased value to prop
erty of all kinds which a sewer system
and fire department will bring about.
Monrovia has a population of nearly
5000. In respect to roads, office build
ings, street car service banks, post
office and water supply the city is
thoroughly modern. A first class hotel
has been, however, a long felt want.
Provided the bonds carry at tomorrow s
election this will in all probability be
made possible.
The natural surroundings and loca-
tion of Monrovia make it an ideal resi-
dence town. Although it has grown
rapidly in the last few years sewer
system has been the most urgent need
of the city, and many a would-be
settler has gone elsewhere to live on
that account. The board of trade has
done everything within its power to
bring these facts before the citizens
Automobiles and other conVeyances
will be pressed into use. The polls will
be open from a. m. until p. m.
