Will Not Add a Dollar TO
the Bill Of the Tax
Payers

Probably not quite as important as
the election Of a president but certain
" Of special Importance to Grady
county and to chIckaSha, is the bridge
bend proposition that will be voted
upon tomorrow
These bonds viii carry 4 the citi-
zens cf chlckaaha vote according to
their interesss
Practically every town In the county
has bridges across the little streams
on the roads leading to them, while
IN proportion 70 other sections Of the
country, the country IN the immediate
vicinity Of chickasha has very few
bridges. Consequently Il is difficult
for the farmers to reach chiekssha
and the business Interests Of the city,
suffer-
The election proclamation Issued by
the commissioners fixes definitely the
location Of every bridge that is to BE
built and places them where the peo-
pie have petltionsd for them. u the
bonds are veted, All these bridges Will
be built at once aad. as many Of them
are on the roaus leading into chicka-
sha, the city is bound to be greatly
benefited
But the cost2 Bondsg Bsgdens for
the tax payers7 Not = bit Of it. Ed
Johns, chairman Of the board Of COM
mlssloners, makes the unqualified
statement that It will not be necessary
10 add one dollar 10 the tax levy II the
bonds are voted. The interest on
county funds on deposit in the banks
and the penalties acerulns on delin-
quent taxes" says Mr.. Johns, will
pay the interest and create the neees.
ssry sinking fund for the bridge bonds.
The law provides that the funds so de-
rived may be used in this manner and
no other"
II bonds ara not voted, al the
bridges that are built mpSs be paid for
by direct levles for that purpose and It
win be less bvrdensome on the tax
payer to vote bonds than to pay for
them by direct levy,
Il Is therefoFs for the best interests
Of the tax paysrs Of the entire conuty
to vote bonds and It certainly is Of
the highest Importance to chickasha
where the bulk Of the taxasie property
Of the county Is located.
Mr.. Johns figures that the bonds
viii carry if they receive 1900 votes in
chlckasha. hs mary voters do not
take sufficient interest to vote on such
a proposition, Il Is necessary for the
bonds to receive a large vote in the
city in order to have the required ma.
jorIty Of the total vote.
Let every voter in chckasha put in
a ballot in favor o. the bonds. If you
dent vote at all your vote is record
ed against the bonds. II is plain
business proposition. More bridges
will mean better business for chlcka-
sra. The bonds will not increase
taxes but keep them down since IL the
bonds carry, no direct bridge levy will
be required The bridges are being
petltioned for every month and must
be built; they are needed and the bond
issue provides the cheapest method Of
building them.
Vote for the bonds.
