THE CITY BOND ISSUE

In considering the proposed
$4,000 bond issue for sewers and
street improvements which the
voters OF the City of Annapolis
will be asked TO approve at next
Mondays special. election, the
two main points that should be
given full and serious considera-
ton are as follows (l) Are the
civic improvements i'll question
actually needed, and. if so, CD is
bond issue such as proposed and
authorized under an act of the re-
cent Legislature the best meth
cd OF raising funds to pay for
such improvements? m
To those who have given the
matter careful consideration there
is no doubt as TO the urgent need
of the contemplated improve
ments. And even those persons
who so far have given it only
casual attention will, also doubt
less, come 10 the same conclus-
ion after examining the itemized
list of the improvements as speci-
fed in the city ordinance approx
ed une 10. 1929.
But i'll order to further impress
upon the minds of the voters the
extent and character of the con
templated improvements, so that
ther may visualize for themselves
the existing. conditions and be
made to realize what an advant-
age to the community the mod
ernization of these streets will
bring, we herewith set forth that
part of the City Ordinance which
specifies the improvements to be
made 1t follows:

Every one who is acquainted
with conditions in the city must
know of the needs of the streets
mentioned in the foregoing list.
and must be keenly alive 10 the
many advantages that will accrue
to. the community as a whole If
these streets are put in proper
condition. Resurfacing of some
of them--such as East street,
Randall street. Cathedral and
Francis streets-will do wonders
in helping to open up these sec
tions more generally to vehicular
traffic and also will prove a great
help in relieving congestion on
some OF the adjacent thorough
fares. An Of the other proposed
improvements, too, are such that,
when put into effect, will make
Annapolis still more entitled to
be known IS The City Beauti-
