WHAT WILL THE COUNCIL DO,

WHAT WILL THE COUNCIL DO?|
After petition hearing the names
of at least ten freeholders from each
ward of the city has been presented
to the mayor and city council. that
special election for voting on bonds
with which to build the electric light
plant to light the streets. as outlined
in the mayors plan. But the council
is not required to call such an cleo
ton If in its Judgment the expense
of the special election would not be
warranted, it is its duty not to call
the election.
The question for the council to de.
termine is this: Are we justified in
putting the city to the expense of q
the city 5000 more in debt for the
sake of getting a plant that will be
used only for lighting the streets?"
The council already, without war
| rant under the law, has spent $3.50 of
the peoples money to learn that a
plant would cost $4,000. This was
done under the whip of the mayor
and city attorney, who make laws to
suit themselves in running Norfolk's
city government.
| 1t is estimated that to operate the
proposed plant will cost $500 per
month when the same service that
it will supply could be had from the
electric light company for $500.

the expense of a special election to

Is there any business in that? Per-

with the citys business. No city Of

pies money just to spite a personal
enemy. A city official who does that
is a traitor to the people who elected

is spending an eXtravagant sum to

with the cost that would be involved
in bnying electric power from the cleo

city's money is wasted in order that
the mayor may punish foe.
The popularity of Mr.. Bullock is
not involved in this issue. 1t is a colo
