An Important Point.

The only opposition against the
proposed adoption in Cairo Of the
commission plan Of gvernment is
based on the possibility OF its inter,
fering with the floating Of a $780,
600 bond issue, which is to be voted
upon by the people February 25-
Tho Bulletin fails to find any
plausible reason why the adoption
Of the commission form of govern
mant should interfere with the
floating OF the bond issue. legally or
In any onter way. However, there
Is slight possibility that the hold
Ing of a special election Subsequent
to Feb. 25 might interfere with the
adoption this year of the commission
plan. This is to be guarded against
with just as much vigilance as the
bond issue.
Opponents of the commission plan
do net state that the adoption of a
change In the form of government
would automatically invalidatc the
bond issue. This would be riiicu-
lous as a matter OF argument, as ii
does not contain logic. A change in
dictatorship would not invalidatc
the bond issue Of private corpora
tion. nor would 1t relieve them b,
responsibility assumed by former
dirertorases The same rule, we
take It. would apply In municipal az
fairs.
Cairo's method OF conducting It's
business affairs certainly would not
affect the eity's responsibility in the
matter of bond issues or anything
else Of this nature. Under any form
OF government. the city's bonds of

tion. The Bulletin has information
to this effect from a reliable source.
One of the reasons why sentiment
Is so strong In favor Of the commits

satisfaction on the part of the tax

not received manv, if any, premium:
