DON'T DELAY ACTION
ON THE BOND ISSUE

For the past several months there
has been much discussion about call
ing for a bond election in order that
several badly needed improvements
could be made. As a matter of fact
the bonds have already been sold at
par and all that is necessary is for
the Commission Council to call the
election and vote the bonds.
City Attorney Talley has just re-
turned from a vacation and the tax
payers would like to see the work
started at the earliest possible date.
The work could be started within a
short time and would give employ
ment to number of Bogalusa citi-
