While there is very little opposition to the bond ISSUE
e seems to be doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
g the bonds at this time by of the property
m account of the local conditions. 1T would be most
nvise for the property owners of BOgaluSa to vote
n the bond ISSUE" stated one of the most prominent
ness men yesterday in discussing the matter. Every
vement called for by the election is needed and if
sa is to go ahead there could be no better time to
NJ the bonds than now. There are scores of reasons
hd could be advanced as to why the bonds should
carried almost unanimously

The $125OOO for the extension of the water and
Ever systems is another item which is badly needed in
aan sections of the city. If the water and sewer sys
nsae to be extended to Pleasant HILL Richardsontown
nd other sections which are without either water
sg9 the Sl25,000 could not be better spent.
BOgausa citizens who reside in sections of the city
mere there is water and sewerage are willing to pay their
M extend it to sections where the residents do not
% these conveniences. Of course if in those sections
mere they do not have water and sewerage the citizens
care for it. then all they have to do is let the public
NOV that they do not want the improvements and those
NO nave the conveniences would be more than glad to
R against it. but it is more than likely that citizens of
Ons Of the city without these improvements will be
ang TO pay their small part if those who do not get
" benefits are willing to help pay.
