CALLS ELECTION ON
BIG BOND issue FOR
JUNE EIGHTH NEXT
NOT A DISSENTING VOTE RE-
CORDED ON ORDINANCE
CALLING TAX ELECTION
IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED
Large Number of Taxpayers Sign
Petition Calling for Bond Issue
Election Early Next Month

At a special meeting of the city
council held on last Monday night,
Alderman Simon Sicily of the third
ward presented petition signed by
large number of the city taxpayers,
praying that the city authorities call
a special election to vote upon pro-
posed quarter million dollar bond is
sue for electric light plant and water
extension and repairing, as well as
for street improvement. Not dis
senting vote was recorded and not
taxpayer was present to protest
against the petition, and the present
administration recorded one of the
most progressive steps taken by it
in its entire existence.
Overwhelming sentiment for the
tax seems to assure the passage of
the bond issue. The largest and most
influential property owners in the city
readily consented to sign the petition
and signified their intention of vot-.
ing in favor of the proposed bond is
sue. Very little, if any, opposition at
all will develop against the PROPOSE
ton, as it is considered the most pro-
gressive idea originated in this city
for several years.
Opelousas needs many municipal
improvements, particularly along the
line of street paving and drainage,
and the rejuvehation of it's electric
light and waterworks system. 1t is
estimated by we'll informed business
men, who are in favor of the bond is.
sue, that an efficient electric light
system will pay out the bond issue
within ten years, just in the profits
that accrue from we'll operated pow
er plant.
One of the crying needs Of the
community for the past three years
, has been street improvements. The
proposed bond issue, it is said, will
set aside approximately one hundred
thousand dollars for this work, whicE
it is estimated will be sufficient eo1
the present. More than half III the
bond issue will be used to either i'm.
prove the present plant or to erect
completely new city electric light anc
water works system. There is
strong sentiment for the new plant
and it is very likely that Opelousa'
will soon be boasting of spanking
brand new outfit for its municipa
electric light plant-perhaps by thu
end of 1921, or sooner.
Taxpayers are urged to give thi
subject consideration and to com'
out on June 8, when they shall de
eide whether 0pelousas shall attemp
these improvements or not, and t
vote in favor of the greatest construc
tive measure submitted to the cit,
taxpayers in nearly ten years.
