A 100000 BOND ISSuE.

From the Laurel Leader.
II is with decided pleasure that we
record in our news columns today the
action Of our worthy Mayor and coun-
Gil in passing on first reading, by
unanimous vote, an ordinance provid-
ing for a 100000 bond issue for the
purpose of improving the streets in
Laurel and the construction OF a
sewerage system.
While the action will no doubt
cause a shock among those who are
willing to allow streets 10 remain In
their present deplor9ble condition,
the citizens with the interest of
Laurel at heart will quickly acclaim
the action decidedly commenda,ble
There Is no doubt but what the or
dinance will be finally adopted and
that the question OF the bond issue
Will be submitted to the freeholders
vote
This is a question we'll worth CIV
ing serious thought. DO we fully
realize what good streets in Laurel
and a sewerage system will mean? OF
course some will argue that the
bonding of the town will be expen-
sive to the taxpayer, but the real
answer to this is that the taxpayer
will reap in increased property Valu-
alton far more than it win cost him
in tax increase
Laurel needs good streets. Laurel
needs a sewerage system and in
both cases Laurel needs them badly
Today our streets are little but ruts
and mud puddles. Our cesspool sys-
TEN of caring for sewerage is far
from sanitary and is unhealthful.
Now Mr.. Taxpayer, stop and con
slider where the real profit will be
derived before you make a snapshot
decision and say that you are going
to vote against this bond issue. Ii
means money to you. Your property
now worth $4,000 viii be worth an
additional thousand with the improve
ments~ made, and It would be a long
time before your taxes or assessments
reached $1,000.
The Mayor and Council deserve the
highest credit for their action. They
have not hesitated where the welfare
and good Of the town is concerned.
Fhey are doing their duty as It
should be done.

they passed through on their way to
