collections are received.
The board authorized loan Of
$500, 900 from the water fund. The

torney's Office was requested to
prepare a petition to the Circuit
Court for a referendum on a
1928 900 bond issue to finance
an addition to the sewage treat
ment plant and additional trunk
sewers.
The matter will be discussed at
the next meeting of the board,
August 27.
Mrs. Cannon said that if the ref
erendum Is set and the bond issue
is approved. consideration should
be given to selling the bonds as
revenue bonds. This means they
would be authorized from the rev.
enues Of the department rather
than by tax revenue.

rate water and sewer departments
should be combined in order to &C
complish this because the sewer
department is not revenue produce
ing but the water department is.
