BOND ELECTION
FEBRUARY q

Without a word OF opposition TO the
issuing OF bonds for water and sewer
extensions and improvements. either
from the members OF the board or the
large number OF prominent men who
we're present. the board Of supervisors

election February 81 for the people to

superintendent OF the water depart
rlent.
Hollinger opened the argument by
asking who would pay for the cleo
ton. Logan said II should come out
OF the water department and Larsen
announced that the department was
fully prepared to pay.
On behalf OF the bonds Arnold then
called attention to the many Advan-
tages that would result II the proposal

pared we must issue bonds for it Is
the only way of raising the money"
The question OF whether the legisla-
ture would supply the necessary fin
ances came up but II was clearly
shown that the water department was
n separate organization and could not
depend on the legislature for nelp.
This idea was upheld by all the SUI
pervisors except Horner.
Hatch said he was absolutely In ia
yor of bonds I'VE need the money
at once but n Il comes from taxes 1t
will take years to collect" he said.
We do need money from the legisla-
ture to run the city, but the extension
Of water and sewer mains IL an en-
tlrely different proposition"
Following out the same argument
Logan said that II the taxes were
raised TO meet the demand the people
would object and II taken from the
general fund there would not be suf-
ficient funds to run the city.
Others who favored the bonds were

pointed out that Circle drive was abso-

The question Of whether the boun-

an address to the AldIne club, of
New York City, a few evenings ago
when lie explained why paying bon
uses OF $1,00O.0O0 or prtncely salaries
to assistants who increased profits or
output was Of little consequence. Mr..
Schwab said that he had paid Vice
President Arch Johnson. OF the Beth

another assistant had received moro
than $1.000.000 as his share of the
profits he had produced.
