10 Second Hitch.
The election next Tuesday VIII
be the second hitch that the peo
pie Of Ciickasha have taken at the
propositions submitted. Several
weeks ago. an election was. held
in which the propositions were ON
bodied. However. the sewer and
water main extension propositions
were combined in one proposition.
Tho attorney general held that the
legality Of the bonds would be ques
tionable, owing TO the fact that the
two propositions should have been
submitted separately.
The propositions at that election
carried by large majorities. but
owing to the ruling OF the attorney |
general, city officials called another
election, dividing the propositions
as he suggested.
Par Is Offered.
That the bond market Is streng
thened and that there will be no
difficulty in disposing of the bonds
at satisfactory figure, is evidenced
by an offer city officials have had
of par for the bonds involved in the
election of Tuesday. 1t is believed
that Immediately after the approval
of the bonds by the attorney gen
eral. the money could be available
and that a call for bids on the pro-
jects in question on could be made
bv the mayor and council. Authorl-
ties are anticipating no delay what
ever in the matter of disposing OF
the bonds.
Information given out at the city
hall is to the effect that the entire
city would be benefited by the
proposed extension Of sewers and
water mains That is, that the
money would be expended, not es'
pecially on any one section OF the
city, but wherever within the city
limits that it would do the most
good.
Would Start New Work.
1t is also pointed out that other
work is practically marking time
until the water and sewer exten-
sions are authorized. One such pro-
iect. is the paving of Seventeenth
street. 1t is deemed necessary to lay
water and sewer mains along Sew
enteenth street before tn hard sur
facing of that boulevard is started.
Money is available for the paving
of that street and with the approval
of the bonds for the water ana
sewer extensions, a call for bids on
the paving will be in order. This, i
is shown, would furnish additional
work for the unemployed.
In addition to this, the city park
board is ready to start extensive
Improvement on the Shannon
Springs site. releasing several thous-
and dollars more. City Officials pre-
dict that with the approval and
sale of the bridge, sewer and water
main extension bonds, work would
be started that would result in the
spending of around $150,00O in
Chickasha and which would furnish
employment for scores Of men for
