Talk is Bourbons viii Attack
Murray's Plan to Get Money

Talk in political and business cir

that the Democratic party is laying
plans TO attack the bond issue for wa
Ter and sewer extensions and improve
ments that is proposed by Manager
Harry +. Murray of the sewer ana
water departments. r. --. !. ~. +.
If Murrays plan is approved by the
supervisors and a plebiscite called,
the voters will be called upon TO cast
their ballots for or against the issu-
ance Of bonds in the sum of S4S0.0O0
for the proposed extensions and i'm
proyements Those who profess to
know say the Democrats will attack
the proposed issue much in the same
manner as they attacked the proposed
issue that was feature of the last
election. -. .-:.'>.
l.. l.. McCandless, who was Bourbon
candidate for delegate. said today that,
while he has heard of no general move
.cn the part Of the Democrats to OPP
pose the project. he is personally OPP
posed to giving money to those who
do not know how to spend it.
I'VE have got enough money with
out calling for bond issue" asserts
McCandless. I'VE have never enjoy
ed such prosperity as at the present
time. There should be enough money
from the taxes to pay the bills. | am

ments; they are necessity. But |
believe that the money for such pro-
iects should be taken out of the gen.

income from the water works."
Manager Murray has his petitions
fairly we'll distributed throughout the
various districts in which it is propos-
ed to make the. improvements. About
80 petitions will be distributed He
