AFFECTS THE PAVING BONDS
Mayor and Council and City Attorney Make Plain
Statement of Their POsitiOn-COmmittee to
Aid in Selecting Pavement

Tomorrow is the last DAY 10 reSlSlSi
for the paving bond election to be held
June 8. 1t is announced by City Clerk
Strong that the office will close at !
D. m. and urges that all who desire
to register, do so before that time.
The qualification of voter at the
paving bond election has been constru-
ed to mean that any person who is sub
ject to taxation may vote on the ques-
tion.
There is considerable interest being
taken in the coming bond election at
er the city shall issue $4,000 in bonds
for the paving of street intersections.
In the public statement issued by the
city attorney, the mayor and members
of the council, full publicity is given
to their position in the matter 1t is
announced that while the bonds voted
will cover the expense in the entire
new paving district that the bonds
will only be issued as needed and the
work will be carried through period
of several years.
Do Work by Units.
The work to be done during the
first year will be only in the universi-
ty district and other work in future
years will be carried out as demanded
by the people themselves. The coun-
Gil in making the selection of the kind
of pavement that will be used will be
guided largely by the recommendation
of a committee of five citizens who Will
hereafter be appointed to make
thorough investigation of the various
kinds of pavements. In the selection
of the pavement just laid the council
was guided largely by a. committee of
three, but it is the purpose to make
the committee larger and it is expect
ed that the interests of the city
through the council and this commit
tee will be amply protected. The fol-
lowing are the signed statements of
the city attorney and the mayor and
council members:

"The question has been raised by |
some of the property owners as to |
when the interest on the $2S,OOO.0O |
bonds, for intersections, will COM
mence.
"The City Council has the power to
designate what portion of the district
will be paved each year. This por-
ton will be designated by resolution of
the council, and bonds will only issue
for the amount necessary to pay for
the intersections covered in this dis
trict For instance, if the City Coun-
Gil thought it best to only pave to the
University portion this year, it would
be only necessary to issue sufficient
bonds to cover the intersections in
that part which would be completed
this year, and these bonds so issued
would not bear interest until the ac-
ceptance of the work; the remaining
portion of the $28,000.00 bonds would
be issued and they would not bear in
terest until such time as the future
contracts were completed, in the pro-
posed paving district, and further If
the contract let for the paving this year
was not completed it would be neces- !,
sary to issue only sufficient bonds to
cover that portion which was complet- :
ed under the contracts let"
G. G. PICKETT,
City Attorney
By Mayor and Council.
''It is the intention of the City COun-
ell, in the event that the bonds for
paving carry, to only complete the
paving of so much of the proposed dis
.rict as can be done this year; and 6
