FROHBACH ANSWERS COUNCILMAN CUNNINGHAM
Little of The History Of the Various Bond Issues Is Gven-De
cIareS Added Bonds Won't Benefit the City

In answer to Councilman Cunning
hams arguments in favor of the $685.
600 bond issue, wish to submit the
following for the voters considera-
ton:
Mr.. Cunningham asks the question,
will issuance of these bonds be a
good business propositions" Mr..
Cunningham says Yes" but he does
not base his declaration on any facts
or estimates.
/ say they will not be beneficial.
At the time the people were first
called upon to vote for bonds for an
electric light system it was declared
and represented that the city of Ash
land should have, and would have a
board or commission to manage the
water and light plants, and that they
would not be left to the management
of city council, changeable and un-
certain. This promise was not kept,
] anu hOIhlHS ndo SNSl DcSH hCdl
from it since the people voted the
bonds.
The city council has never made
an effort for the appointment of any
commission or board of public utili-
ties, but has preferred that the same
should be managed throught the
common council and the political
machines incident naturally to city
/ governments, and it does not now
show any disposition to do otherwise
The light system can never be a sue,
/ cess as long as the system remains
under the control of political coun'
ellis, with the changes of administra
tions, and as long as the people are
| deceived with false statements as tC
the paying powers of the plant; ant
it is time to call halt in the counci
being given more money to speculate
with, on mere guesswork and uncer
| tainties.
In order to better understand tn,
present conditions, let us go back ;
few years and look into the histor,
of the electric light system.
About four years ago the people
angry at the raise of rates by tn
A. E. P. & L. Co., voted $4,000,
bonds for the establishment of mu
nicipal plant, assured that tha
amount would cover the entire cos
and that the municipal plant woul
be capable of producing all the elec
tricity required for the use of tn
