viii Hold Second
Election on
Bond Issue Soon

It was announced Wednesday
that as soon as the necessary
papers Including another petit
tion) can be prepared and filed
and the necessary legal publ
cations made, the voters of the
city of Hardin will have another
opportunity to vote on bond is
sue for improvements to sewer
and water systems.
City Attorney Dan w. Mad
dog pointed out that it will
take several weeks to take the
necessary legal steps.
The bond issues would have
carried by overwhelming ma
jorities had the necessary 40
per cent of the qualified voters
cast ballots. To vote, a citizen
must be registered Cor have
voted in the last general cleo
tom and must be a taxpayer.
All voters who think they are
eligible are urged to check their
registration before the next
election. Only six more votes in
the election on Tuesday, May II,
would have permitted both
measures to pass.
Mayor A. M. Chilly issued the
following statement in regard
to the May II election:
Tuesday night at the regu-
lar meeting of the city council
the election returns for the wa
ter and sewage bond issues were
canvassed. To our surprise, the
official tabulation showed that
the bond issue did not pass,
Five and four-tenthS votes were
necessary to obtain the required
20 per cent of the registered
property owners whose names
appeared on the last assess
ment roll.
your city council deeply re-
grets that many people did not
vote at all. However, I want to
thank those who did vote be-
cause a large majority were in
favor of the proposals.
'It may have seemed to those
who neglected to vote that the
improvements were not really
necessary. It must be remem-
bered that our city is growing;
that we are no longer a mere
country town. Our population is
well over the three thousand
mark and We have new citizens
almost every day.
"In the old-fashioned country
town, here is what you would
have: l. No water system, only
wells. 2. No sewage system, only
outside toilets. 8. No fire pro-
lection, only the bucket brigade.
4. No nice lawns or parkings.
Just weeds. 5. No street I'M
