total bond period 26 years.
An act Of the legislature already in
force creates a fund for the redemp-
tion Of the bonds out of the revenue
derived from the increased motor We
hicle tax and the quarter mill prop
erty tax. 1t is estimated that the to-
tai revenue from both of these
sources will be approximately $780,
900 per annum, 100000 from the
quarter mill tax and $4,000 from
the motor vehicle tax.
The quarter mill tax and the mo-
tor license will be in effect, ire
spective Of the atcion taken on the
bond bill.
The voters who are in favor of the
bond issue will vote "314 X Yes;
those who are opposed will vote "315
X No."

A constitutional amendment, sub.
mitted by the legislature, sixth on the
ballot, entitled Requiring election OF
city, town and state officers at same
time"
This proposes to add a new section
to article II of the constitution
known as section 14-a. 1t provides,
in brief, that all incorporated cities
and towns shall hold their primary
and regular elections on the same
dates as the primary and general
state elections, and that the same
election officials shall serve for both
municipal and general elections. The
proponents of the amendment urge
economy in its support, contending
that the merger would eliminate, in
large part, the expense of separate
municipal elections. Those opposed
to the amendment contend that 1t
would result in congested elections
where municipal candidates and Is
sues would be overshadowed by state
and national issues.
