council To CONSIDER
BOND ISSUE TONIGHT

City council will meet in special
session tonight at the city hall, with
the business If deciding whether or
not bond election will be called
at an. early date. The proposal is
that 100000 in bonds be voted
upon, with a controlling percentage
of that sum 70 be de Jo;el TO paw
ing and street improvements.
1t is proposed, according 10 state
ments, made by member of coun-
Gil upon the street this morning, to
pro rate the issue between streets,
waterworks, sewers and schools.
The amount to be issued for each
purpose, under existing law, must
be voted upon separately, and any
part of the proposed issue may be
ssconfirmed or rejected by voters at
the polls.
Certain re-paying in the wood
block paved section is Imperative,
and funds for this purpose viii be
raised through the sale Of bonds, if
these be approved by the voters,
while it is declared that certain new
housing facilities at the city pump
ing station are equally as necessary
as re-paving. Certain machinery
there, it is stated, is being grad
ually rendered unserviceable be-
cause of exposure to the elements.
Friends of the city school system,
likewise, see the necessity for early
expansion of housing facilities
there, and in the interest of har-
niony, it is probable that proposals
covering all these contemplated ex-
penditures may be submitted to the
voters.
Councils session will start at 1880
o'clock, and citizens interested may
be present at that hour, if they so
desire, and give expression to their
IDEAS concerning the proposed boad
election. 9aaei0s o t0e
