Although there is no stringency result
ant to unemployment in Palestine there are
troubles approximating similar unfortu.
nate circumstances in American cities
particularly New York. For example:
There is housing shortage in practically
every Palestinian city, and more particu-
larly in Jerusalem itself. This shortage Is
due no doubt 10 the tremendous ingress Of
people from the Western world and Europe
who are returning to revivify the land of
their fathers.
In every town the housing shortage is
acute. In Jerusalem, where land is dear,
impatient house hunters have built their
domiciles on the tops of old houses. The
fiat roof of the Eastern dwelling house
renders this quite plausible: the new house
is built on top of the old one being prac-
tically an extra story. Stairways from the
outside provide separate entrances, and it
is really as IL new and private home
were made.
In towns where land Is not so dear
such as Jaffa-everybody is building
Hotels, Office buildings, large residences
and workmen's dwellings are being fever
ishly put up.

TOWN COUNCIL CALLS SPECIAL
ELECTION FOR NEEDED
IMPROVEMENTS.

We publish elsewhere to the quail.
fed taxpaying voters of the Town
Of Franklin notice of special
election which will be held on We'd
nesday, May 31st, at which election
! there will be submitted to them the
| following propositions:
Proposition No. l. "Shall the
Town of Franklin, Louisiana, incur
debt and issue bonds to the amount
Of S30,000.00, to run twenty years
from the date thereof, with interest
at the maximum rate of six per cent
UNI per annum, for the purpose OF
paving and improving the streets OF
said TOWN."
Proposition No. ?. Shall the
Town Of Franklin, Louisiana, incur
debt and issue bends to the amount
of S7,500.00, to run twenty years
from the date thereof, with interest
1T the maximum rate Of six per cent
um per annum, for the purpose OF
constructing drains for said Town."
Proposition No. 3. "Shall the
Town Of Franklin, Louisiana. incur
Gebt and issue bonds to the amount
of $37 10000 to run twenty years
from the date thereof, with interest
at the maximum rate of six per cent
UNI per annum, for the purpose of
purchasing and installing additional
equipment for the combined electric
light and water works plants of said
Town, including the purchase and
construction Of additional water
mains ?"
The town authorities have made
a careful study of these propositions,
and have concluded that the improve
ments they propose are absolutely
necessary for our towns advance
ment. They now call upon the prop
erty owners, those who are vitality
interested in the towns prosperity,
to come forward and by their votes
authorize the Mayor and Council to
pledge the towns credit for publicl
so necessary and pro-
ductive of the best results. There is
no doubt but that vast majority of
the taxpayers will respond favorably
to the propositions; that the debt |
will be assumed and that bonds will
be. issued as suggested. The burden
the town is asked to assume is not
too great when we consider the great
resultant benefit that will flow there
from. The amount Of the debt is not |
beyond our means. 1t will be met |
promptly according to the scheme.
In the meantime Franklin will be |
enjoying the convenience, and in
creased pleasures and revenues which |
these improvements will afford.
The Banner heartily endorses all |
three Of the propositions. The i'm
provements suggested will be of in
calculable benefit to our town. The
little money we will pay for the
benefit will not be felt. The patriotic,
public-spirited people will see to it |
that their town remains among the |
first in the rank Of progress and |
