NlR. BURFoRD's ADVICE

A letter from Mr.. r. A. Burford to
THE city council, which appears in
sother columns, was handed to the
Star yesterday, but as it was impos-
sible to have 1t set i'm time it had to
he held until today. The Star, how-
ever, mailed each councilman in the
city a proof ofthe article last night,
so they will have time to study Mr..
Burford's opinion before their meet
ing this evening.
Mr. Bnrford argues that it is too
late for the council to separate the
items to be voted for in the proposed
bond issue. He is of the opinion that
such ballot would be only advis-
ory; that the council could do as it
pleased about following out its rec
concentrations, and also seems to
hhink that such ballot might cause
complications that might invalidate
the election.
As lalwyer, Mr.. Burford has no
superior In the state. 1T is seldom
GIhat his opinions do mot stand the
test of the counts.
The Star thinks Mr.. Burford gives
the council sound advice. 1t is pos
sIble for it to call OF the election
set for next week, to pass am ordi-
nance calling for an election as
soon as possible, with the differeni
purposes for bonds ttemized on the
ballot. This would cause very lit
tie expense, comparatively little de
lay, and 1t might change the resul
of the election.
Some of the purposes for which
the '1buIrch bond issue" is intende
are much needed, some not so niue
an0 one not at all. The Star know
many citizens who are in favor c
