COUNTY TO
NEGOTIATE
REFUNDINC

The Board of Supervisors yester-
day entered into a contract with
Refsnes, Ely, Beck & Company, Sc
curities dealers of Phoenix, to
negotiate the refunding of the gen.
eral obligation bonds of Santa Cruz
county.
The bonds comprise four issues,
originally issued principally for
roads, bridges and highways in the
aggregate of $513, 900. Outstanding
at the present time are 100000 of
the bonds, of which $4,000 road
bonds bear interest at the rate OF
go per annurn, $51, 900 road bonds
carry 51k9o and the other two is
sues for road and highway purpose
are so bonds in amounts $1O9, 900
and $114,00o, respectively.
In the redemption fund collected
for the purpose of retiring the prin-
cipal of the bonds the county Is. in
possession and has available ap-
proximately $4,000. It is anticipat-
ed that additional funds will be
collected during the next tax COL
lecting period, which, together with
the present sinking funds should
enable retirement of $4,000 prin-
cipal amount. This will leave 1884,
600 of bonds to be refunded.
Tax levy during the current fiscal
year for interest on the bonds now
outstanding was 16,75S.00. If, and
when, the bonds are refunded as per
the tentative proposed program the
maximum interest charge in any
year which would be the interest
ACQUIRING during the first year,
would be $11, ,775.00, resulting in a
saving of $4978 in the first year and
an increased saving each year there
after as the bonds are retired.
It is calculated that if the bonds
are refunded and the reduction in
the tax levy obtained, the tax rate
which was So cents this year in sup
port of the bonds will be reduced
to approximately "a cents, or re-
duction of II cents on each one
hundred dollars of assessed valu-
alton
The tax rate this year in support
of the general county purpose ag-
gregated $2.5064. which, together
with So cents for the bonds made a
total tax rate of $31264 for the fis
cal year 1936-37.

ticket. who will also see that no per-
son under 81 years of age votes.
And the Bettwy people, too, will
not be without challengers. Much
challenging is expected to slow up
the voting considerably so it be-
hooves everybody to form in line
early if they want to escape con-
siderable delay.
It would not be a surprise to see
at least 400 voters ready to cast
their ballots when the polls open at
6 O'Clock Tuesday morning.
There will be only one voting
place-the fire station in the city

Put on your big flat topped hats
or face a heavy fine!
That warning was issued yester-
day by w. A. Scatena, kangaroo
judge for the second annual From
tier Fiesta May 7, 8, 9 and 10.
II have observed only a few flat
topped hats. Flat top is the official
style for the fiesta. Large ten-gal-
Ion hats can be obtained at local
stores at small sum, then they can
be flattened," said Scatena.
Scatena also urges the women
folks to purchase calico for dresses
for the fiesta. Local stores have
put in good stock, yet they report
poor sales so far" he said.

Mr.. Cheshire issued the following
statement this week.
Speaking for myself + do not
feel that the question of the salary

issue in the present campaign. al
though it was proposed by the pres

senting an elector, E. j. Dittmer,
handed the papers to DURANGO as
the city clerk and Bettwy sat at a
counter in the Higldi Pigldi on

been trying day for His Honor -

numerous desertions from the

couldn't be expected to be in good

mand.
cts a formal demand chat the

"Tell them to go to hell. Get a

alton without q court order" Bettwy
said.
According to Hail. presentation
of the demand was step toward
getting the court papers.
Attorney General Joe Conway

HAS BETTWY MADE GOOD IS
THE BIG ISSUE TUESDAY?

The big issue in Tuesdays election is whether Andy
Bettwy has made good as mayor the past two years.
1t ne has, he deserves reelection. II HE HASN'T,
HE SHOULD BE DEFEATED.
The International is of the opinion that Bettwy as
mayor has been great disappointment to many per-
sons who supported him two years ago.
When he went into office June l, 1885 practical
ly every man. woman and child, and both newspa-
pers, wished him we'll, and had high hopes that he
would accomplish wonders for this beautiful little
city.
Right off the bat he assumed the role of Musso-
lini dictator There was born the ctys first oneman
government. He began ruling with iron fist. The
six aldermen soon learned it was needless to try to
keep him from having his way in all matters.
Bettwy's first boner occurred the day he took Of
flee His first official act, after he had said prayer
at his Inauguration, to as chief Of police
Mark Tully, man who had been for several weeks
in the spring of 1885, ROULETTE DEALER FOR
A BOOTLEG GAMBLING JOINT IN A SHACK
JUST OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS ON THE TUG
SON ROAD.
Bettwy then appointed enough policemen for city
the size Of Phoenix or Tucson. Gradually he had to
reduce the number when city funds began running
low and today his policemen paid what can al
most be called starvation wage No policeman
should be expected to work for a small However,
Bettwy at labor union meeting the other night said
that if he is reelected mayor he will put po
licemen If he do that why not pay those he has
now more money?
He also said at that meeting that he is reelected
he will accept the mayors salary of 5000 month,
providing the voters on Tuesday adopt the proposed
amendment to the city charter If the city afford
to pay mayor 5000 month it afford to pay
higher salaries to the city clerk and chief Of police.
Department heads are the fellows who do most of the
work. They are the ones entitled to good pay.
Bettwy has made mistake after mistake. His tac
tics have injured the city's credit It would take
column after column to print all the things Andy has
done that should have been tolerated here one
moment.
The international is of the opinion that the voters
here thoroughly conversant with conditions in
this city and are aware Of Andys poor record May
or-that they have had enough of two long years of
Clown government-and will voice their opinion in
10 uncertain terms at Tuesdays election.
TWO LONG YEARS OF THE BETTWY REGIME
IS FAR TOO LONG. Let's get down to business and
put MORALES government in the capable hands Of C.l
c. Cheshire and his excellent candidates for alder
nnen-Dr M. / Merritt. Thomas L. Hail. Ren j. Jones,
E. j. Jnillerat and Charles T. Frazer-all good busi
men.
