in making them look forward to future

SEWER BOND ISSUE OPPOSED


NEXT Monday the voters of this city
IL will go to the polls to choose three
councilmen, a city treasurer and to re-
elect a city clerk, also TO vote on a prop
osition to bond the city for SlS5. 900 to
provide a new sewer system for the city
The Press does not feel that it can con-
sistently urge citizens to vote for these
bonds in view of its attitude on the pres
ent need for economy in the conduct of
public business.
Granting that there is much fault to
find with the present sewer system, we
do not believe that it is wise nor for the
best interests of the taxpayer to float a
bond issue at this time
An issue of S1S5,000 over a period of
35 years will cost the taxpayers an av-
erage in principal and interest of $1,000
a year or a total of approximately $374,-
500. Even taking the round number of
100000 for a total it is a burden too
heavy to saddle upon the taxpayers.
Moreover, this is not a time for selling
bonds. Every reader knows that the
bond market is down to an extreme low.
The law requires that municipal bonds
shall not be sold below par Proponents
of the bond issue state that the bonds
can be held for three years before offer
JliS lllSlll 1OI Sdl6 1 lllS OC4IlS 81, Wy
ask the taxpayers to vote them now. Let
us wait awhile.
We believe that at this time the city
can get along with its present sewer sys-
tem until such time as conditions I'M
prove and the people can more conven-
iently assume bond issue or some other
means for paying the cost Of the project.
The Press is not reactionary. It is in
favor of municipal improvements as a
general thing, but all circumstances must
be taken into consideration when a pro-
iect of this kind IS discussed. The in
dividual taxpayer right now is carrying
a heavy burden. To ask him to carry
more is neither fair to him nor good bus
mess for the city.
The present sewer system IS operated
under a joint agreement with the City
of Imperial. The latter has not agreed
to Join in the new sewer system and un-
der the old agreement could legally in
sist that FL Centro keep up its mainten-
ance share of the present system, which
might make for embarrassing and costly
litigation.
Maintenance cost on the present sewer
system will not be so heavy that it can
not be carried by the city for few years
until conditions improve. Until that
time we believe bond issues and anything
else that increases the taxpayers load
should be sidetracked.

NOTED POLITICAL
FIGURE HERE ON
VACATION TRIP

Governor Frank Lowden OF
Illinois, one time candidate for the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton. was a visitor to FL Centre and
Imperial Valley yesterday afternoon
and last night as he motored from
Chandler, Ariz., to Los Angeles.
Lowden left this morning for the
coast city, from where he will take
his departure for home, a ranch
about 100 miles west of Chicago.
Commenting he was on vacation,
the former governor of the middle
western state said he had nothing
TO say regarding politics or the
present political situation.
He stopped at the Barbara
Worth hotel here, he said, because
he wanted to see Imperial Valley
again, after an absence of 20 years.
1t was that long ago Lowden first
saw Imperial Valley.
Development since that time has
been marvellous, he asserted, say
ing Imperial Valley is looking
fine and that he saw no evil
dence of depression here as COM
pared with other sections he has
visited.
Governor LoWden has been
vacationing in Arizona for the past
eight weeks, taking no active hand
in political activities.

outside the hole, which was shaped
like the letter o, there was a ledge
OF rock, like a shelf, upon which
the rabbit gentleman was standing.
A little while before, looking at
