Bond Issue For ApaIachIccIa.
The city council of Apalachicola,
at meeting called for Wednesday,
Jan. 18th, voted to call an election
to decide whether a bond issue of
$4,000 should be issued to raise
money to improve the streets and al
ieys of Apalachicola. This is a sub
ject very dear to the hearts of the
women of the city, for in the original
charter of the town every allowance
in the width of the streets was given
to render them beautified avenues.
Only let us put them in order with
grass and trees, and every cottage
along their length will be seen to ad-
vantage. If the ladies voted, this cleo
ton would pass.
