Our railroad debt which has
haunted us for two generations,
is in a fair way to be settled.
Based on the list for 1917, it will
be Sc on the hundred. Our
quota for Liberty Bonds is $751;
600, and this amount will apply
to the liquidation of the debt if
plans devised materialize. By
this method one dollar will be

from their records, thus leaving
real estate to find an open mar
ket. Our largest taxpayers have
been anxious for a settlement
