A Matter of Public Spirit

vote for the bond issue on Thursday is vote
for progress ard far Improvement.
1t has been over ten years since Wheeling issued
any bonds. During those ten years we have paid off
nearly as much the entire amount OF the bond
issue which we are voting In other words,
if this ISSUES carries Thursday, the bonds all
issued and the money spent, will still owe no
more than we did in 1909 and will have vastly I'M
proved streets, improved water service and better
Sewers Since 1909, moreover tax duplicates arc
largely increased
Wheeling now has bonding capacity OF
$3,75O000
If the proposed bond issue passes will have
about $1,600,000 of debt.
In other words if this issue carries and the bonds
are issued will still have a bonding capacity OF
over $210O0OO. This will leave abundant capacity
for taking care of many Improvements, either for
filtration, for additional pumps for any other
legitimate purpose of city expenditure.
The city of Wheeling is rich 1t should have the
improvements which other cities have. Ii should
provide itself with good streets 1t has the money to
do so. Let show that We have the public spirit.
