Of the Question

1t Is Important That the Voter
Be in Possession Of
All the Facts
TO BRING OUT THE FACTS

Advocates of the new bridge at
Wishkah street have called a pub
lie meeting, at the city council room
tomorrow night, at o'clock, when
Jno. J. Carney will discuss the cues.
tion to be decided at the elections
next Tuesday, from the affirmative
viewpoint.
Mr.. Carney has invited Mayor

important question, in the belief that
the mayor as we'll as himself, is in
terested in its decision at the polls
being made intelligently, with a full
knowledge of all the facts and for
the best interests of the taxpayers
of Aberdeen who pay the bills for
all blunders-and bridge blunders
have been plentiful and costly in the
last few years.
The invitation sent Mayor France
this morning follows:
hon. Eugene France, Mayor of Alb
erdeen:
Dear Sir: propose to discuss the
advisibility of voting Yes on the pro.
posed bond issue to build a bridge
at Wishkah street at public meet
ing in the city. hall tomorrow eve-
ming, at o'clock, when I would be
pleased to debate this question with
you.
You are opposed to this bond is
sue, doubtless honestly, but, I think
mistakenly, and as mayor of the city
I feel sure you will not hesitate to
take the public into your confidence
to the extent of making clear your
reasons for this opposition.
Yours very respectfully,
JNO. ]. CARNEY.

choice of two tracts Of land, one con.
tanning 1875 acres and the other rs
acres. Both tracts front on Elliottx
slough, and are on the new county
road now being built in that locality.
Mr.. Lewis's offer will be to give
absolute title. provided only that the
city expend $1,000 in improving tha
land in order to show the intention
to use 1t as a park. He will put IT,
deed in escrow, to be delivered h
the city when such improvements are
made. 1t is said that l.. G. Humbo1A
gar has offered to do $500 worth q
the improvement. and it is hishH
probable that others will come fu
ward with similar offers il the Land
be accepted by the city authorities.
The action of Mr.. Lewis b no sur
prise to those who know him Among
the early settler Of Aberdeen. IL
growth of the city has enriched him
to large extent, and he is OF tn
disposition to appreciate the fact. In
discussing various park site purchas-
es that have been mooted in the pest
few years, the Herald has expressed
the belief that such sites would nj
timately come to the city without
cost, from some of the many pion-.
eers who owed their success in liz
largely to the efforts of others n.
well as themselves in building a city
here, and that belief we still have.
