 A depreciation was committed Sunday night when some mis- creant tore down the Poodle Dog Cafes sign and also capsized the pails containing small trees in front of the building. If the dep- redator is apprehended he will learn that such acts committed on either public or private prop erty is an expensive Rstime in Wrangell.

by vote would mean that the town of Wrangell would be "empow- cred" to issue bonds in ANY sum hot exceeding $50. 000,' and that the council had never con- templated the issuance of bonds in the sum of $50, 900, but only for such amounts as necessity may require. It was also pointed out that voting to-. empower the town to issue bonds in ANY sum not exceeding SS0,000 is a very different thing from voting to make it obligatory upon the town to issue bonds for the EN- TIRE amount of $50. GOO. In re- sponse to a direct question from one of the audience it was fur ther stated that the council was drafting an ordinance that would prevent the town council from borrowing any money or issuing any bonds for any purpose what soever without a petition from two-thirds of the tax payers of the town.
 The objectors to the proposi.
 
 ton were absolutely unwilling to accept any of the above eXplana- tions. They contended that town councils do not necessarily have to be guided by public opinion, and that if the bonding bill is ae- cepted at the polls the new coun- cil could repeal any regulations made by the present council, and ignore any petitions that might come from three fourths or even 100 per cent of the tax payers, thereby leaving the said tax pay CTS helpless to do anything about 1t but pay taxes.
 A member of the council stated that he did not feel that there was the slightest cause for being apprehensive that there would ever be a town council elected in Wrangell that would attempt to go against the tide of public opin- ion to the extent of absolutely ig- noring the will of the majority of the tax payers.
 At this point in the discussion a citizen of long residence in Wrangell arose and said: MT. Chairman: A constituency that would vote for anything as crazy as the bond issue would be ex- tremely likely to elect a council that would do anything! (Ap- plause.)
 The meeting then adjourned.

Bond Issue Discussed

room Monday evening for the purpose of discussing the question of whether the Town of Wrangell shall be empowered to issue bonds. for which privilege Con- gress recently passed a bill where by the town of Wrangell may, by . a majority vote of it's electors, is- sue bonds not exceeding Sl5000 for the construction. enlargement and equipment of schools; bonds not exceeding S25000 for the ac- quisition and construction of a waeer supply system; bonds not exceeding $15000 for the con- struction of sewer system bonds not to exceed S20, GOO for the construction of a city dock bonds not exceeding 5000 for the construction of floating dock.
 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Pritchett who an- nounced that the first business would be the election of a chair man. On motion Mayor Pritchett was elected chairman and J. E. Worden, secretary.
 The chairman stated that the meeting had been called at the instance of the town council be- cause it was believed that a pub lie discussion of the question would result in a better under- standing of the matter thereby enabling the electors to Vote more intelligently on the question.
 An invitation was extended to each one present to express his views, either for or against the proposition. The invitation did not go unheeded as there were several highly esteemed citizens in the audience who were not eX- actly backward in expressing [ themselves. The majority of those who spoke were against the proposition and one or two of them were disposed to view the question with considerable alarm. One of the leading citizens de- nounced the idea of empowering the town to issue bonds as being one of the most pernicious at- tempts at frenzied finance he had ever heard of, and declared that if the town accepted the bill passed by Congress we would be slaves to taxes for the rest of our days, and our children, and our children's children for genera tions to come would suffer as a re- suit of this king piece of munici. pal foolishness. He declared that it would be better to set up a soviet government. (Hearty ap- plause).
 Another citizen who formerly lived in South Bend, Wash, stated that that city bonded itself 30 years ago and is still in debt, and that as one of the property own CTS of Wrangell he would prefer to see the present rate of taxa tion increased rather than for bonds to be issued.
 As the former resident of South Bend took his seat one of Wran- gell's business men arose and eX- claimed: Show me a city any where that was ever bonded that ever amounted to anything" The applause that followed this rremark showed that the speakers who were opposing the proposi- ton were not without support.
 The council was criticized for having been responsible for the Act of Congress which gives the electors of Wrangell the privilege of voting on the question. Itwas pointed out that voters who are not property holders may be very careless of how they vote, and in } case the bonding bill should be accepted at the polls on April 6 :. the poor helpless property y'holder

last year at the camp. He has been in Seattle since Christmas. to fix the limits and name the purposes for which the Town of Wrangell might wish to issue bonds, either now or at some fu- ture time. The committee thought it would be well to con- sider the possible needs of the future and therefore mention the various purposes for which there might arise a need for eXta funds. AS a safeguard against a possible emergency the committee thought the limits should be placed well beyond the amounts actually required. For instance, the limit of the amount for school purposes was fixed at S15, ,000 although $3,000 would probably cover all that IS required at present. But should still an- other addition to the school be required later on it would then not be necessary to get an- other bill through congress in order to issue additional bonds for further school improvements. The committee made their report to the mayor and on motion it was unanimously accepted. Then the matter was at once taken up with Delegate Grlgsby and in due time he got the bill through Con- gress.
 The report that has been so in- dustriously circulated that the ac- ceptance of the bonding bill by the electors of Wrangell would automatically double the taxes is without foundation. The total assessed valuation of the Town of Wrangell is $253,51 If the Wrangell bonding bill should be accepted at the election on April 6 there would be no special tax levied until such time as one or more bonds would be issued, and then the special tax, if levied at all, would be only in the same ratio to 2 per cent as the amount of the bonds actually sold would be to $80,0O0. Therefore if bonds should be issued for $2, 800 for a float for the fishermen, or for an addition to the school house, the special tax levy in each case would be one-half mill. making the in- crease in taxes in each case 50 cents per thousand on the as- sessed valuation.
 Supposing man now pays $15.00 taxes. If bonds for $2, 500 were issued for a fisherman's float, his taxes would then amount to $15. .37K.
 The Sentinel has no quarrel with those who are opposing the the measure. There will never come a time when all the people in any community will view the same question from the same angle. Every one should read the bill through carefully himself and then vote the way he thinks best.

The Act of Congress which gives the Town of Wrangell the privilege of voting on the ques- tion of whether said town shall be empowered to bond itself in any sum not exceeding SS0, GOO, is the result of a request from the present town council.
 Several months ago the treas urer of the Wrangell school board appeared before the council and gave notice that within the next year the school board would ask the Town council for money to build an addition to the school house. Itwas estimated that this addition would cost between 3D. 800 and $3,000. The towns f. nances being low the question of issuing bonds for making the pro- posed addition to the school house was discussed in the presence of the representative of the school board, and no objection was made by any one. At the next meet ing of the council a motion pre- vailed that the clerk be instructed to write Delegate Grigsby re- questing him to draft bill and get it passed by Congress which would empower the Town of Wrangell to issue bonds, PRO- VIDED the electors of the Town of Wrangell should decide by vote that they were in favor of bonds being issued. A bill of this kind could not be passed by Congress without some certain amount be- ing named as the limit for which l bonds could be issued, and the bill would also have to state the purposes for which the bonds were to be issued. Accordingly the mayor appointed the five members of the council who were present a committee of the whole

RED|STR|CT|NG
WILL Be GAIN
FOR KLAMATH

Redistricting the state into legIsla-
tive districts will be one OF the fea-
lures OF the 1921 session which will
arouse the interest OF each OF the 80
members OF the senate and house
says the Portland oregonian. Many
OF the present districts will probably
be revised and this Is especially true
OF the districts embracing several
counties
Thirty are members OF the senate
and there will be that number after
the reapportionment, but some strlk-
Ing changes will be made.
Jackson county may lose It's sena-
tor, but will have an interest In two
Joint senatorships. One plan under
process OF incubation Is to throw
Jackson county and Josephine coun.
ty into one district instead OF each
having separate senator. by this
arrangement DIR. J. G. Smith. newly
elected senator for Josephine. would
become Joint senator for Josephine
and Jackson.
G. NJ. Thomas, now senator for
Jackson, would be on the cold out
side, as his term expires with the
coming session, and II he wanted to
be reelected he would have to seek
support In Josephine county two
years hence, and Mr.. Thomas isn't
beloved in Josephine county, partlc-
uiariy among the fishermen. Mr..
Thomas might try his luck for the
other Joint senatorship.

ship Is supposed to consist OF Kla-
