Special Correspondence OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md, February IS. 1914.
Opposition is said to be developing at
Kensington to the proposed bond issue of
$4,000 for water and sewer system for
the town, and 1t begins to look as If the
special election to be held in April to en-
able the property-owning residents to
pass upon the proposition will be lively
affair
The objection is understood to be based
entirely upon the expense the proposed
bond issue would entail. The taxable ba-
sis of the town is now approximately
sJO0OOo and to pay off 81 600 of the pro-
posed Indebtedness and to pay the inter-
est would necessisate an increase of
about 30 cents in the tax rate. This, it
is claimed by some, is too heavy a bur-
den.
1t is claimed by the advocates of the.
bond issue that a sewerage system and
pure water are necessary to the health of
the community. and that typhoid fever
would be more costly than the bond is
sue.
