outs Others need to be improved b.
order 10 provide main arteries o.
traffic for certain sections OF the
city. while certain others are cross
town streets IN sections OF the city
which are already well paved. We
find that the cost OF the intersections
Of al OF these streets VIII be about
$4,000.
We are submitting these plans 20
the voters so that they may deter
mine for themselves the necessity q

Refrenrhment Il Imperative.
As stated before. a policy OF re-
trenchment in e Paso financial az
fairs Is absolutely imperative We
are ar the limit or our tax rate and
valuations The burden OF federal
taxation Is one which has been very
light in the past but viii continue
10 grow heavier during the war and
VIII continue heavy for several years
following This burden Will and
should. be borne patriotically and
without protest: but every effort
should be made 20 save locally and
where the money IS least needed
What may appear as necessities IN our
munici1 bal existence now nav be
classed as Injuries later BY all OF Us
Must save Tslefa Road.
IN considering these bend issues
Il should also be borne in mind that
the county viii be compelled before
long "a ask for at least $500. 600 bond
Issue % save Tire road from FL Paso
10 Yslc-1- As Fl Paso pays almost
all tie tax for the county 10 will
mean that we have created $500. 900
additional Indebtedness Do we need
These are the views o. the Tax
PAYERS association IS we see them.
ard you as taxpayers should vote
either FOR or against such bonds as
