sell out at a very low figures
It is understood that the pike can be

ers is to raise the amount by bond
issue against Colesville district, the COM
missioners to make special levy against
the property in the district to pay the In
terest and gradually redeem the bonds.
Special Election Needed.
The commissioners, it is said, regard
the proposition as reasonable and are
inclined to accept it. The matter would
first have to be passed upon, however,
by the taxpayers Of the district, who are
voters, the commissioners being en-
powered under the law to call q special
election for the purpose.

er Campbell, seeking to care for the
city's interests, asked that the citizens

which resulted fairly overwhelmed the
water commissioner, and he increased
the bathing privilege to twice weekly
He did so grudgingly, however. and
still insists that one bah week
would be sufficient-of course. taking
Into consideration the condition that
exists.
Chairman Michael Ward OF the
board OF health said he approved OF
the suggestion. He felt that the com.

should sacrifice their wishes for the
good of the many. Their abregatlon
would be for good purpose, he said
