in favor of the $4,000 bond issue
for sewer and water systems as pro-
posed by the council-the lonesome

alton from the outset
The Commercial Club, since its or.
ganization, has earnestly stood for
the betterment OF Harrison, and we
can easily excuse it for throwing
caution to the winds in a case like
this.
Primarily Harrison needs improve
ment in it's water and sewerage
systems, as everyone will agree, and
almost any effort to accomplish q
better condition is in a way com
mendable; but after all this has been
admitted there are still reasons
why the present proposition should
be studied carefully before its adop.
ton.

enthusiastic friends Of the PROPOSE.
