WHERE MONEY
WILL Be USED
FROM BONDS
HENRY HUNT GIVES THE VOTERS
AND TAXPAYERS A DETAILED
STATEMENT OF THE PLANS OF
THE CITY.

II. T. Hunt, commissioner of water,
sewer and lights, speaking in favor
of the proposed bond issue to be voted
on July 81, says; Some of our people
who are opposed, on general princi-
pies, to bond issues for any purpose,
have stated that bond issue is not
needed at this time; that taxes are
already high enough, etc.
For the information of these in
particular, and the public generally, it
should be stated that the proposed
water and sewer improvements will
not materially affect the tax rate of
the city; both of these utilities being
revenue producers, thus taking care
of their own bonds.
"By way of showing the needs of
the city and just where this money
will be expended, the following data
Is presented for the careful attention
of the taxpayers. These figures are
the result of careful surveys and
measurements by engineers and ex-
perts, and show what improvements
are needed to meet present urgent
demands and conservative estimate
of the needs of our fast growing city
within the ensuing year.
