CALL ANOTHER
BOND ELECTION
WILL HOLD MASS MEETING
MONDAY EVENING IN
COUNCIL ROOMS.

Since the defeat of the recent
$4,000 hond issue by only a
small margin. several who voted
against the proposed bond issue
have expressed opinions, had
they understood the proposition
clearly they would have voted IN
favor of the bond issue. With
this fact in view the council has
ordered the chairman of their
organization to call a mass NEE.
ing for the evening of Monday,
July 18 at which time the mat
ter will be thoroughly gone into
and discussed from various
angles.
Call For Mass Meeting.
A public mass meeting will be
held next Monday evening in the
Council room for the purpose Of
discussing the advisability of
calling another bond election,
and every one is urged to come
out whether they are for or
against the proposition that the
subject may be discussed.
S. j. Peterson, Chairman.
Citizens Urged To Attend.
1t is to be hoped that a goodly
number of our citizens will at
tend the mass meeting next Mon
day night for the purpose of dis
cussing the proposition of calling
another bond election. If this
proposition is clearly understood
by the people of the town it is
believed that a bond issue would
easily carry. The cost to any
individual for his share in carrv-
ing his part of a $4,000 bond
'ssne would be very small. and
when the farmers are donating
their time and work in rocking
up the roads leading up to the
town, and some of them have
even volunteered to come into
town and haul the rocks out onto
the streets. the people of the
town should be ready to meet
them half way and provide the
crushed rock for them to haul.
some have gotten the idea that
the proposed bond issue was to
pay off present Indebtedness of
the town but this is not the case,
this bond money is all to be used
in improving the various streets
and especially those leading out
of town and connecting the main
roads.
