VotIna on Bonds.

The citizens OF Worthington yester-
day voted on the proposition to bond
the town in the sum of $500 with
which money the paving of the streets
and alleys will be completed. Seven
years ago we had a bond issue of 81, 900
without any increase in the rate of
taxation and we believe another issue
can be floated on the present rate of
SO cents. We have sinking fund in
the bank to meet the other issue and
would have paid them off before this
but the holder refused to sell until the
time limit arrives and they have three
years to run yet.
