Mayorl'.TloI''.Go
To Atlanta
About Bonds
PWA Office Trying
T o Force Revenue
Bonds on City; Voters
Against 1t

Mayor Henry T. Powell left this aft
there tomorrow with officials of the
division office of the WPA with ref
erence to certain demands of officials
here with respect to the city's bond
issue for sewage disposal plant.
The matter was before the City
Council at meeting Monday night,
and the members thought the mayor
should go to Atlanta Immediately to
determine the whole issue.
Mayor Powell said today the WPA
office is insisting that the bonds is
sued be revenue producing bonds, in
stead of generalEtax obligations. I'm
der the revenue bond idea a tax on
sewage connections would be assess
ed on all property owners or users of
the water and sewage service.
When an election was held last Sep
ember, the proposition submitted to
he voters then was general tax bonds,
and not revenue bonds. 1t was talked
at the time that many people opposed
the bond issue on a revenue basis
but voted for it as general tax levy
issue. There was speculation today as
to whether or not the Council had
the legal or moral right to proceed
with the issuesspn "a revenue basis
after the election was submitted and
carried for another proposition.
Mayer Powell hoped to be able to
explain all. details to the WFA di-
vision officials and secure their con
sent to proceed. . An agreement has
already been made with an engineer
for the plans and for general super
vision of the work. Should the plan
be dropped for any reason. it might
cause complications in some respects,
it was thought.
