shores of the Gulf of Mexico not far
from the thriving city of New Or

he carried on piracy in gentlemanly

Although the customs officials of

Citizens Will Present
Petition To City
tuesday
Legislature Posses Act
Which Allows Durunt
To Vote Bonds

A petition of qualified voters will
be presented the Mayor and Board
of Aldermen of Durant Tuesday night
at their regular meeting to call an
election of the electorate or the ques-
ton Of whether or not Durant will
float s55 900 in bonds to finance it's
part of the construction Of a new
school building.
The Legislature now in session has
approved a bill submitted by Repre-
sentatives Bacon, Wynn and McNeer
to allow Durant to float these bonds.
The bill was passed by both houses
and has been signed by Governor
White.
The bill was necessary due to the
fact that Durant already has the the
bonded Indebtedness allowed by law.
Only by a special act of the Legis-
lature, as passed. can additional bonds
be floated. .
1t is understood the Board will call
the election at the earliest date posi-
BILE according to law. A majority
Of those voting is necessary to pass
the issue.
General sentiment seems to favor
the erection Of the long-needed school
building and no opposition is ex-
pected over the measure.
Should the electorate pass the is
u on a called election local autho
rites would Immediately submit TIE
proposal for the S100,000 building to
state offices of the PWA.
The PWA would make a grant of
$4,000. according to present plans.
