WOULD ENLARGE
BONDING POWER
Mayor Wants 1t To Include Police
Stations, Fire Houses, Public
Fairgrounds, Etc.

Corporation Counsel Hally has com
pleted the draft OF the amendment TO
the city charter Increasing the bond.
ing limit from two 10 three per cent,
which is 10 be submitted TO the legis-
lature in the form of bill. The meas
ure Is identical with Section Z. of the
charter, as IL now stands. the only
change being the substitution of the
word three" for the word two" The
council, Tuesday night, will direct
that the bill be presented to the legis-
lature at once.
Mayor Thompson has sent a com
munication TO the council, which will
be considered by the committee on
city and charter legislation, Tuesday
afternoon, urging that, as a part of
the same bill. the bonding power be
enlarged so as TO include police sta
tions, fire houses. public Fairgrounds,
bath houses, street openings and a
high pressure water system, so that
these improvements could be taken
care of by the issuance OF bonds rath-
err than by spreading the cost on the
tax rolls.
The mayor took the question up
with the committee on ways and
means, Tuesday morning, but on the
suggestion of Chairman Gilman, de-
cided that the proper course would be
TO go before the committee on city
and charter legislation during the
afternoon. AS far as known the sug-
gestion meets with favor. Such an
enlargement OF the bonding power
would tend to greatly reduce the tax
rate

THANKS POUR IN

Jurist's Kind Words For Chorus Girls
Bring Many Messages OF

Every day brings fresh evidence OF
the tender regard in which Judge
Phelan Is held by the chorus girls.
There In scarcely a mail which does
not bring thanks for his words in de-

performer In a recent speech. Tues
day morning came refreshing epistle

II wish to thank you for the manly,

and IL did my heart good TO see that
someone Is broad-minded, brave and
big enough to see the good side OF the
chorus girl. as we'll as the bad.
Would that more natures were
broad enough TO realize that behind

Hers Is a rough, thankless life. Her
work Is hard, and all she gets In re-

knocks from the public whom she
bends every effort, even at sacri-

"The chorus girls life is exagger-

The public Is lead to believe that all
