VOTE TO ENLARGE
REVOLVING FUND
Working Capital for Street I'm
provements Must Be
Enlarqed

An extremely important question to
be decided by the voters at the com.
ing City Election is the proposition
to issue bonds in the sum of $4,000. 90
for the purpose of creating a larger
permanent Improvement revolving
fund: This fund is for the purpose Of
providing money for paying for local
improvements, such as laying side
walks, constructing sewers and street
grading, for which assessments are
made against the benefited proper
ty. The improvement is paid for out
OF the permanent improvement re-
volving fund, the property is assessed
for the improvement, and the money
is paid back into the fund from the
assessments when the same are said
in taxes by the property owner. Il IL
much similar to the working capital
used by an individual or a CORPORA,
ton, 1t keeps on performing the same
service over and over again. Hence
the term revolving.
The city originally issued bonds,
which have since been paid off, to put
$5,O00.O0 in this fund. So much work
has been done in the past few years
that this fund is taxed to its capacity,
and at present there is not nearly
enough in the fund to pay for the i'm
provements that have already been
petitioned for by property owners:
There are now proposals before the
council for street grading alone that
will take much more money than the
fund at present contains to pay the
cost thereof, If contracts are let this
year, as they should be so as not to
halt needed improvements that the
property owners are desirous of max
ing and which they are willing to have
their property assessed for.
The City Council has therefore pro-
posed to issue bonds in the sum of
$5,000.OO to enlarge this fund, but the
proposal to issue said bonds must be
passed upon favorably by the voters.
The sinking fund of the City is amply
able to buy the bonds and it will sim
ply amount to the taking of money
out of one fund and putting it in an.
other fund. The bonds will probably
be paid off within few years, at least
not more than five years, as the
bonds proposed only run for that
pOA AOus eSASA CA4O AACOAOSt V0tI 30 w LII
therefore be small.
Let every voter who desires to see
the City grow and prosper, who wish
es it to progress, and who does not
want to have Improvements held up
because OF q lack of funds. vote in
favor OF the issue of the bonds.
There is no possible reason for vot-
ing against the issue, unless one op-
poses all progress and growth. There
is every reason for voting for it, It
is important, one of the most impor-
tant issues that the voters will have
to decide. 1t will be extremely un-
pleasant for the next city admins
tration, whoever they may be, to find
themselves badly crippled in this fund
and unable to make needed improve
ments when property owners are pet
itioning for the same and demanding
that their petitions be needed. Not
only will it be unpleasant, and un-
fortunate, but it Wilt be calamity.
Let every voter vote YES" on the
proposal to issue bonds.

During the Rotary club meeting

. discussion Of the boy question
took predominsnce, and Il de-
vel0ped that $50 boys are known to
be anxious to Join the 7. N. c., A,
20 that they may have the construc-
tive play features Of that organiza-
ton, but are unable to do 80 be-
cause Of the So per year which II
requires, as well rs the cost Of

Something must be done about
this" the Rotarians agreed, and fell
to work planning out way to help
bone of these little fellows to some
thing which they win enjoy and
which will do them good. Finally II
was decided to give all members
until the next meeting to think the
matter over. At that time any Ro-
tartan willing to finance one boy
through one year At the Y, Or more,
will be asked to signify.
An acquaintance stunt was an
other interesting feature Of this
Moons session. The chairman call
ed upon two men at different places
on the table, telling them to stand
and each to give the others name
and the business he was engaged
in. Spice was added to the pro-
oeedings by filming each man who
was unable to give that informa-
ton q quarter. 1t was thought that
in this way. by calling upon various
pairs, the extent to which the men
were acquainted among themselves
could be seen, and better acquaint-
ance could be developed.

MAY
SOON OPERATE
REST OF LINE


A survey of bridges between GIL
christ and the Monmouth ON the
Rock Island Southern line was be-
ing made today by government en-
sineers, who are to investigate the
present conditions Of the spans and
make reports to the railroad ad-
ministration. Their reports will
answer the charges brought I'm.
oficiaIIy and in court action that
the bridges crossed by the South
ern trains were unsafe.
G. W. Quackenbush, manager OF
the railroad, said this morning that
in three or four days the only
bridge heretofore known to be posi-
lively out Of repair, that between
Gfichrist and Burgess, one mile east
OF the former place, will be once
more in first class condition. Work
men have been occupied upon it for
several days. Inasmuch as the at
tention Of officials of the admin
istration are being turned particu-
larly to this one job. it is believed
that as soon as this bridge is In
repair train service will be extend
ed from Gilchrist east to Burgess
| although no such announcement
has been made.
Wait on Bridge Work.
The inference is that the por-
ton of the Southern now untravel-
ed, between Gilchrist and Mon.
mouth, will be once more covered
by trains as soon as the other
bridges are reported safe. The
main line passes through Gilchris1
and east to Monmouth. The track
from Gilchrist to Aledo is only q
spur.
