SEWERS FOR PlocHE.

During recent sessions of the spec
ial grand jury, the matter of sew
erage system for Phoebe came in for
much discussion. There is popu-
Bur demand for something of thfs kind
but just how to go about it and how
to obtain the funds required for such
an undertaking, has been the ques-
ton.
The late legislature, however, en-
acted law to just fit such cases.
The new law authorizes unincor-
porated towns to issue bonds, in any
sum not to exceed 100000, and In
convenient denominations Of
from 500 to 1000; with interest at
not to exceed six per cent per annum.
Section 3 Of the actsreads:
Before issuing the said bonds the
board of county commissioners, act
ing as such city or town board, shall
publish notice for at least three
consecutive weeks in some daily
newspaper published in said city or
town. calling for special election
by the legally qualified electors OF
said city or town to determine wheth-
or such bonds shall issue. If there
be no daily newspaper published in
said city or town, the said notice
shall be posted in at least three con-
spicuous places within the limits of
said city or town for the same
length OF time, and If there be a weel
" newspaper published in said city
or town, the said notice shall a'so
be published in said weekly newspa-
per during the time of posting.
The notice shall state specifically the
amount If the proposed bond Issue,
the rate OF interest the bonds are
to bear. the time and manner OF
for the construction CT sewerage
system"
Section relates to the manner of
preparing ballots and stipulates that
II majority of the votes cast are
favorable to the bonds, 1t will then
be the duty of the county commits
sioners to proceed to issue the bonds
as rapid j as needed to make the
improvement.
To provide for the payment of the
bonds, and interest thereon, the coun
ty commissioners must levy an adj
ditional or special tax. upon all prop
erty both real and personal, within
sewerage system, sufficient, In theil
opinion, to meet all the requirements
None Of the bonds must run for pc
iod of more that fifteen years.
All sewerage systems constructed
under the provisions Of the &C
must be under the direction of tn
county commissioners
In cases where sewerage system
are constructed in contemporaries
towns and they are afterwar,
Incorporated, then the control an
management shall be vested in tn
municipal governments.
The Record believes that the lee
islature has solved the PROBLEM an
now II majority of the legal voter
of this town approve the proposition
we can get the sewer system. The a,
ditional tax which property owl
ers would have to pay would not b
burdensome upon anyone.
There is another way to look q
this sewerage system proposition. A
ter awhile new town will be but
up on the other side of the mountain
somewhere between the Prince Cons
dated and Phoebe Metal mines, and
we do not start to make improvement
and otherwise develop INTO moderl
ism, is it not possible that the ne
town will become the metropolis
the district?
We who own property here wal
to see Phoebe retain its premiership
Now is it not proper to give serio,
consideration to these things? L.
as; have clean town. A mo-
ern town.
