by officials of the race to locate Hart

lief of some that he made his night
control at a farm house, and will
make his whereabouts known, only
when he arrives at Evansville, 10
miles from kere. during the fore
noon.
When Hartman left Fergus Falls

SCOTT COUNTY BOND
issue MAY SUCCEED
John Dohogne of Kelso Longs
for a Tribune to Expose
Scheme to Farmers.

John Dohogne, the well-known farm
er, living near Kelso, while in the Cape
yesterday said he was afraid the bond
issue promoters of Scott County were
going to saddle an $S0O,O00 debt upon
the county at the special election to
be held May II.
1T looks like we are doomed" said
Mr.. Dohogne. "The men who are back
ing the scheme have made such an e.
fective campaign that l am afraid the
bond issue will go through.
81 was interested in The TriDune's
fight on the S1,0OO,OO0 bond issue pro-
posed for Cape County, and l only
regretted that The Tribune was not
published in Scott County when | read
that it had forced the bond issue pro-
motcrS to call off the election.
''There seems to be Statewide or
ganization promoting these various
county bond issue elections. The big
bonding houses in the large cities, of
course, realize that these investments
are safe, because they virtually get 4
mortgage on whole county in secur-
ity for their loan.
''Our good roads bonds, if they are
voted, will cost the people of Scott
County $4,000 a year in interest, or
100000 in interest for the twenty
years. This, vii lforce the people to
pay back 81 100000 for the 100000
which We get.
81 have heard from almost every
part of the county, and the indications
are that the bond issue will carry, al
though there is quite bitter opposi-
ton in some quarters. The whole trou-
BILE is that the Scott County news
papers are advocating the proposition,
and the farmers don't realize what a
burden they are going to unload on

SWIMMING POOL
MAY Be REVIVED
BY BUSINESS MEN
M. E. Leming and E. ]. Deal
Have Begun Plans for Erec-
ton of Pool in Fairgrounds.

ASKED FOR A GIFT

essary for the Com
munity.

The swimming pool proposition has
been revived by several business men
of the city. it was stated yesterday aft
ernoon by NJ. E. Leming, president Of
the Commercial Club. Mr.. Leming
and E. J. Deal have been working on
the matter for several days in an at
tempt to arouse the interest of other
prominent business men in order to
complete the swimming pool. 1t is plan
ned to erect the pool in the Fair
grounds Park.
The City Council will be called upon
by the promoters of the plan to amend
the resolution which was passed by the
City Council 4 month ago appropriat-
ting the sum of $4,000 to the Civic
Improvement Association for the cree
ton of public swimming pool on the
corner of Lorimier and William
streets.
City Counselor knehans will be ask
ed to give an opinion whether the ap-
preparation made for the Civic I'M
provement Association for the erection
of the swimming pool can be convert
! ed to the use of the business men who
have revived the project. At the last
meeting held by the City Council a
week ago. a resolution was passed to
convert the vacant lot On which the
Civic Improvement Association plan
ned to build the swimming pool, into
4 public park, and it was contemplated
to use the money appropriated for the
plans of the Civic Improvement As
sociatioh for this purpose.
Members Of the City Council are o.
the belief that the announcement Of
the ladies Of the Civic Improvement
Association to drop the plan had multi,
fed the appropriation made for the
Improvement Association and for that
reason, the money was asked for the
identifying Of the Lorimier lot.
Mr.. Leming said YESTERDAY that ;
swimming pool had become a great
necessity in Cape Girardeau and thai
everything would be done to complete
the plans for the construction of tho
pool. He has approached a number o.
business men of the city and has fount
them to be in favor Of the plan.
| Owing to the campaign of the Com
mercial Club to boost the city, it i:
likely that the matter will no be taker
up for at least one week, until the cam
paign has been closed. In the mean
time, Mr.. Lcming will make an effor
20 have an estimate made of the pro
posed pool and the probable Location
of the pool. An effort will be mad
to draw up contract with the Mis-
souri, Public Utilities Co. in order t
secure a special rate for the waite
service for the pool.
