CLOVIS WILL VOTE ON
S218,0000O BOND ISSUE

At meeting Of the City Council
Monday night II was decided to sub
nit several bond issues to the voters
at the election In April. The total Of
the amount Of bonds proposed is
$2lS,0O0 TO be used for the following
purposes:
City Hall --------$ $4,000. 90
Sewer Extension ------ 100000
Street Improvement - 100000
Water and Light Meters 100000
Water Works Improvem't 100000
The proceeds from the proposed
issue Of $4,000 city hall bonds will
be used in the construction Of a city
hall on the city's property on Monroe
avenue. II would be the plan for this
to not only answer the city's needs as
a fire station and office for the water
and light office but also would have
an auditorium for public gatherings.
There are districts that dc not
now have the benefit Of the sewer
system and II is estimated that II will
take a $4,000 issue to care for these
improvements.
Street Improvement money will
be used In cement crossings which
are so badly needed. It is necessary
for the city to provide crossings be-
fore Il can force property owners to
put in side walks. II Clovis can pro-
vide more sidewalks during the COM
ing year the town will get free city
mail delivery. The News predicts
that very few people will vote against
this small issue for this great i'm
provement.
There are many houses in town
where there are no water and light
meters. This curtails the revenue to
be derived from this source and the
amount Of the issue will be saved be-
fore many years in light and water
revenue now wasted.
The biggest issue will be for the
improvements at the light and water
plant. A few years ago the city au
thorities figured that the light ant
water plant was good for severa
years to come but the rapid growth
of the town has given the plant III
full capacity at this time.
The contract for preparing th'
necessary legal procedure for th'
bond issue as well as the contract fol
drawing the paving orders wa
awarded to the legal department o
the Hanchctt Bond Company Of Chi
cago.
Each Of the issues mentioned abov'
will be voted on separately and th'
voter will have the privilege Of vot
ing for or against each issue.

The Success of the
Rural Telephone Project
By f. PETERSON.

Claud Byers, d. |. Barnett, Emmett
Davis of Ranchvale; +. Witherspoon
of Bellview; Oscar Turner, p. B.
Hartley, S. F. Mulhair, A. B. Lotion
Of Hollene; Bert Curless, c. E. Den
mis-, Jas. M. Buckley, W. B. Cramer Of
Clovis; W. W. Hungate Of Pleasant
Hill; S. s. Alcorn, Lee Hammond, NJ.
C, Firestone Of Field. The papers
have made previous mention Of how
the other communities have gone over
the top, but now we wish to make
special mention of Field and Pleasant
Hill. When the telephone project
was started, we had little hope Of
reaching Field at the present time,
because of the great distance and the
heavy financial requirements which
would have to be made Of the people
on the route. However, when it
seemed that there was no hope for
Pleasant Hill coming in, the board Of
directors decided to make the effort
to get Field in. The people on this
route We're required TO raise $4,000
and many declared it could not be
done, but we were agreea6ly sur
prised when on Saturday night the
committee on this route, after only
two days work, came in with their
quota over subscribed. There are
some real live people out that way
to be heard from later. For the first
time in the history Of Pleasant Hill
it looked like she was going to miss
a great opportunity, and when IL
looked like all hope had vanished, the
old war horse, W. W. Hungate took
hold Of the reins and not only put
Pleasant Hill over, but also aroused
Texico as to what was going on in
the world; and they are also in the
line and will be connected with the
rural telephone at Pleasant Hill.
No greater enterprise for good and
far reaching benefit, both to city and
rural people alike, has ever been pro-
NOTED in this wonderful county. Now
It is started and going well, let every
one put their shoulder to the wheel,
and make Il an unqualified success.

When the Farm Bureau made the
rural telephone system one Of its
main projects more than a year ago,
it seemed like a hazy dream to most
Of the people. However, by their per-
sistent effort they were finally able
to convince the Chamber Of COM
merce that such a project was really
feasible. II is useless to 60 into de-
tail as to the history Of this project,
but few things will be Of interest
to the public in general. The most
important is, thet one hundred and
ten miles OF trunk line will socn be
under construction, and in short
time we will have telephone connec-
tions with Clnud, Grady, Bcllview,
Hollene, Ranchvalc, Field, and Pleas
ant Hill.

only city to take special interest in
this project, but recently Texico has
shown her desire to be connected up

has begun to show interest, and we
have no doubt but that in the near
future, n trunk line will be construc-
ted from Melrose to Field; thus maxi

Lodge reservations, agreed that no
specific promises should be made.
The party committed itself to an
association of nations to safeguard
peace, but to no particular plan.
Senators were to be free. With this
settlement Senator Borah said he
was satisfied. He would not seek to
dictate any more than he would sub
NIT to dictation. Now come re-
ports that Senator Borah asks that
no more speaking dates be made for
him. 1t is reported that his with
drawal from campaign activity is
because of disagreement over
league matters. 1t is limited that
the Senator objects to having the in
ternational court as part of the ma
chinery Of the League Of Nations,
for this, of course, implies some sort
of ratification.
The controversy, if there is one,
has not been ventilated, and so no
positive opinion can be ventured.
But the preliminaries suggest that
Senator Borah is not as convinced
as he was that the present is no
time to commit ones self in respect
to projects not yet matured and
that Senators should be free.
