method by which the world has been

tons. The first deals with the i'm
provement planned and asks shall the
work be done" The second deals with
the proposed bond issue with which
the improvement is to be paid for. and
asks shall the bonds be issued 1t
is important that voters realize that
they must vote on both propositions.
To vote on one and neglect the other
would be the height of folly for they
are coordinate and must either pass or
fail together. If the first proposition
is adopted without the second the work
could not be done on account of lack
of funds. If the second is adopted
without the first, the city would be
empowered to issue bonds without any
way of spending the money. Vote on
both propositions.
