A BOND ISSUE
BY THE CITY IS
NOW PROPOSED.
BELIEVED THAT COUNCIL WILL
CALL ONE WITHIN NEXT
FEW WEEKS.
Money Is Needed for Extension Of tho
Sewerage System, Street Paving
and other lmprovemsnts-Action
May Soon 3. Taken BY soIons.

The taxpayers of Brunswick may
pe called upon to vo.e on bond
issue before the end Of the present
year.
The question of bond issue for
the city in sum tetween $125.090
and $150,000 has been discussed
among the city solons for some time
and 1t is known that majority Of
psem are in sympathy with the nave
ment, but are not ready just at ,his
time to take any definite action.
The bond issue is needed for sever
al purposes, first., council realizes
that the sewerage system should be
extended. A short extension is now
being made In the southern section OF
the citys hut there are two or three
other sections of the city badly in
need of sewerage Considerable iay,
Ing Is also needed, with no available
cash for that purpose. These are the
Two most iinae,s..as..::t /. ceds Of the city
Just at this time, and If the bond elec.
ton is called, which now seems very
proba'le the money will be used Cor
the two purposes mentioned.
84lt is also a well known fact tnar
In recent years the sinking fund OF
the city has not been kept up. AS a
matter of fact tie city now owes %
its sinking fund many thousand dol
lars, and those who favor a bond IL.
sue think that some provision should
be made for paying into the sinking
fund the exact sum due it, If such
can be done under the law.
Various members Of council have
discussed the question of bond is
sue for some time. 1t will be abso.
iutely necessary sooner or later. and
they think that the sooner the city
authorizes the election and sells the
bonds the better ii will be financially
for the niunicipaiitys 1T is probabls
tnat the matter will come up pretty
'seon In council and some definite
steps will likely be taken. That
large majority Of the taxpayers will
indorse the plan there is no dohbt.
and It is believed that sufficient
vote to authorize an issue could be
easily secured.

President, who cast ballot in favor
of the amendment. Senator Reed Of

by Senator Bacon qualifying the Bris-

supervision unless a State Legislature
should refuse or fail to act, was de-
feated, 46 to 43.
The House passed the resolution
with no provision for Federal super

the ground that the National Govern
