NEWT MONDAYS ELECTION


The qualified voters Of the City
of ANNAPOLIS will have the oppor-
tunity 10 turn out in full force
at the election to be held here
next NJ )nday, July IL. and cast
their votes in favor Of the muni-
cipal Improvement bond issue OF
$72 900 which was authorized by
an act of the 1922 Legislature,
BY so doing the voters will show
that they have the present and
future interest and welfare of the
city at heart; by their approval
of the proposed bond issue, they
will show that they are not UNI
mindful of the urgent need Of CON
tcmplated street and sewer i'm
provements in Annapolis; that
they are eager to have the good
work 90 forward as rapidly as
possible, and that they will fur
nish in this way, the means for
SO doing.
In providing for a bond issue
10 cover the cost OF the sewer and
street improvements which are so
badly needed here, every detail
for repayment of the bonds has
been worked out to the city's in
terest, and there will be as little
of burden as possible upon the
taxpayers.
That the city is i'll position to
carry additional bonds is attest
cd by its present favorable 6nan-
cial condition, and, i'll event of the
proposed issue being approved by
the voters, the city's aggregate
debt even then will be below the
total of municipal debts of most
cities with practically the same
taxable basis as the City of An
napolis.
There can be no doubt existing
in the mind of anyone as to the
imperative need of the civic inn
provements which the passage of
the proposed bond issue will per-
nit the city government to un-
dertake. All of the streets which
will be put into excellent condi-
ton, providing the voters act fav-
orablv on the bond issue, are urg-
emily III need of the improve
ments which have been decided
on and it would indeed be a de-
cidedly rctrogreSsive move if the
bond issue were permitted to fail
With the bond issue decided
upon i'll the affirmative by the
voters, the civic improvements
which will Immediately follow
will not only add distinctly to the
general appearance of the city as
whole but they also will be a
source of much comfort and con-
veniencc TO the citizens of Anna
polls and to the strangers within
our gates who in increasingly
large numbers pass over these
streets in automobiles or in other
vehicles. Furthermore, with
these streets properly improved.
the taxable basis of the city will
be increased, which will tend to
make feasible a reduction in taxa
ton.
The invaluable benefits accru-
ing to city because of its excel
lent streets and adequate sewer
age facilities are too obvious 10
everyone TO require much reitera-
ton. All citizens who are great
ly interested in the growth and
prosperity of their city also rea-
lie to the fullest the vast inn
portance and urgent necessity of
always keeping these streets and
sewers constantly improved to a
high standard OF perfection if a
city is to SO forward instead of
Stagnating.
Passage of the proposed bond
issue at next Mondays election
will mean much for Annapolis
it will mean that this city is alive
to the needs of the hour and has
the courage and ability to satisfy
these needs. Your vote cast in
its favor will be a big help to
this municipality, not only for the
present day but for years to
come.
