, no comment from me: Dear Sir
In your column, recently, you offer
!, ed two suggestions for lifting th'
: bonded indebtedness of this town
Both are worthwhile, but to my
!, mind the one proposing the in
creasing of the town limits to take
in the suburbs that have sprung III
is the best. These property holders
are enjoying the privileges and i'm
provements made by the bonafidt
residents of the town, yet they dc
not contribute one penny. Oh
course, water lines will have to be
extended, if required. The cost Of
such extensions would be small
compared to the increased revenue
have heard several favorable
comments to the plan, and hope
Council will consider seriously the
thought advanced by you. CITI-
