PORKER is
PECULIAR

The Express has no disposition to
allow its reputation for veracity to
suffer. neither does it desire to lose
its membership in the Pure Heat &
Can't Lie club. but the inexorable de-
mands OF duty compel it to report the
following remarkable story
r. L. Moore. SIC Shepard street. is
the possesor Of a geological curiosity
that deserves a place in President
Tafts Oklahoma collection. 1t is a
pig that arrived in the world a few
days ago. The little porker has two
well formed bodies to which eight legs
are attached but it is managing to get
along with only one head. which. how.
ever is adorned with two pairs Of ears.
There are five other pigs in the lit
ter and the whole aggregation is pros
pering, apparently getting a good start
in the world.
Any of the Express readers who are
included to be skeptical about this
story can satisfy themselves by tax
ing a look at the animal.

BOND ISSUE
OF $4,000
PROPOSED
But No Levy Required to
Pay Interest and
Retire Bonds.

When tic ONES to shrewd financier.
ing. the Grady county commissioners
have shown that they are fully cap
able Of handling any situation. They
have worked out a scheme whereby
the county can get about 100 bridges.
practically without cost to the tax
payers. All the voters have to do is
to say the word and It will be done.
Briefly here is the plan. The board
had made a deal in the selection OF
depository whereby the county will
receive 81 per cent on deposits. I'VE
seldom have less than 100000 OF
county funds on deposit and often
more." said I'd Jehns. chairman Of
the board "This means that we shall
receive at lease $4,000 yearly interest
'on the same. Now according to law.
this interest money can be used only
to pay interest and create sinking
funds on bonds. # We don't use it
that way il simply lies in the bank.
Nov we propose 10 issue bonds to
the amount OF $40. 900 For bridge pur-
poses This win build all the bridges
we need We figure that the interest
on our bank deposits will pay the IN
terest and create a sinking fund to
retire these bonds and thus there viii
be no tax levy at all required by the
issuance Of the bonds.
'sFhe people are demanding the
bridges and we must have them II
We don't issue bonds, we shall have 10
levy a direct tax to pay for them and
that would be hard on Us at this time,
Under the plan we have worked out.
there would be no burden at All plac.
ed on the tax payers"
According to the law. the location
OF ali bridges must be decided and the
e5timate Of the cost Of the same must
be made besas an election can be
called. Az thu September meeting Of
fAe commissioners II is expected that
everything necessary win be arranged
and the call for a special election viii
be issued. The board already has ap-
plications for 40 bridges in various
parts Of the county. At the meeting
closing yesterday the commissioners
we're ordered 10 view the proposed To-
cations Of bridges in their respective
districts and report on the cost OF
same at the next meeting Any COM
munity desiring bridge should re-
port the same 70 the proper commits
sioner.
The proposition worked out by the
board Is so meriiorious that the pro
posed bond sisue should meet with un-
anlmous approval
