THE BOND ISSUE
A Rally at the Court House Tomorrow
Night at Eight O'clock.

A rally of citizens is to be held to-
morrow, Friday, night in the court
house. The hour fixed for the beginning
of the meeting is 8 o'clock, The discus
sion of the proposed bond issue is to be
the feature Indeed, it is the only sub
ject to be considered. The advocates of
the proposed bond issue win give reas-
ons why it should be approved by the
in number of votes and in the
amount of valuation of property as as
sessed. At this gathering there may be
some opposition, but it is only through
agitation and discussion that the happy
medium may be reached.
It will not be questioned that the paw
ing Of streets, and as scheduled, is de-
sirabie. Indeed, one of the evidences of
progress is in the streets of the city. A
city well paved is always attractive and
impresses the prospector and investor
favorably. Besides, the paving of streets
is the medium for the disbursement of
money to labor and for supplies which
stimulates business.
One of the objections to the proposed
issue of the new bonds is the rate of in
terest, 4 IL per cent. 1t is held that the
4 per cent bonds already approved by
the Supreme Court can be negotiated
without loss, but, as yet, it would seem
that the demand for these bonds is linn
tied.
However, when the issue is fully un-
derstood, as it must be by free and open
discussion, the intelligent voter will not
fail to reach conservative and safe
conclusion AS rule, the majority's
