LOCAL BOND ISSUE
The Necessity of Purging Pres

Out in Discussion

The proposed local bond issue
came up for discussion in the Rotary

1t was pointed out by one of the
speakers that every citizen would be
compelled to do his part if the cleo

''The registration list must be
purged," it was said, "for there are
on it the names of many who have
moved out of the city; others who
have died, and each of these WOULD
constitute vote against bonds UNI
less their names are removed from
the list"
A resolution was ordered drawn
by the secretary thanking Frank
