In line with its policy Of Investigate
| ing every side OF public issues. the
league of Women Voters has called &
mass meeting tomorrow night at the
Chamber OF Commerce auditorium fol
the purpose of discussing the proposed
bond issues. 1t is felt that there is Il
good deal of misunderstanding ON the
T sub .iect and that the electorate needs
additional information.
While the meeting has been called
by women, it is open 10 everyone, and
all citizens who are interested are in
yited. Impartial presentation of all
phases of of the bonds question will be
made by men well qualified 10 discuss
them. There will be three principal
speakers. and then discussion from the
floor will be called for. Debate will
be limited.

the bond issue question has not re-
ceived public discussion in Birmins-

impartially presented before a final de-

for Monday. March "a, at S p. IN. i'll

member of your organization. We are
not asking that it be as representing
or in any way binding the organization,
but simply that our meeting may as
nearly as possible represent cross
section of our citizenship. All sides Of
the question will be presented by com
petent speakers.
