Mayor Tobin Warns Voters
Of Delay That Will Come
If Amendment Defeated.
WILL NOT RAISE TAXES
Only Vote of People Can
Raise Rate, He Says, on
Eve of Election.

will be submitted TO the voters Tues
day, will defeat any possible program
for flood prevention for at least tw,
years. was Issued by Mayor John w
fobin Monday morning. The mayo
gave out formal statement. explain
ing the purpose of the amendment
separating the city and school Ia
and showing that it will not resul
in an increase in the ax rate unles
the people later vote bond issue
With this amendment also will be sub
mitted one providing for the elimina
ton of the city primary election. TIL
polls will open at s o'clock Tuesda,
and close at Z. the voting booths b.
ing in the same places as in the las
city election, with the exception o
two.
Some people have the impression
that by voting for the charter amenl
ments. they give the city the right t
increase the taxes. which is not ;
fact" Mayor Tobin said in his state
ment. The only way that the taX''
can be increased is for the people q
some future date to vote for pubul'
improvements and bonds are issued
This naturally would increase th'
taxes. but without Il vote of the peO
pie the city commissioners have n,
right to increase the tax rate aboN'
S1.25. the present rate.
Would Face Two Near Delay.
If this charter amendment is de
feated. there can be no bonds issue,
by the city of San Antonio for pc
Rod of two years. and consequent
no permanent improvements will b'
done. which would be n great calamii,
for San Antonio not to go ahead will
improvements as they have been in tn
past. san Antonio is a growing cit!
and it is necessary that the street an,
sewer improvements keep pace will
the growth of the city. If we cXpe"
San Antonio to be safe from flood
il is absolutely necessary that We tax
some measure to prevent. them"
