Proposed Bond Issue
(Continued from page II

Continued from page II
 ed to pay two-thirds of the pay. ing costs.
 The need for the bond issue IS simply this: In order to get a reasonable contract under bid. 1t will be necessary for the city to pay all costs of the paving at the time the contract is complet- ed The $15,000 earmarked for roads out of the 1856 property tax will represent only a small fraction of the total cost To raise the balance, bonds will be sold, as authorized by the voters. The city will then collect, over a period of 10 years, from the bene- fitted property owners. For every s100 of paving, S33.33 is per manent charge to the city, $66.67 is paid by the city and collected from the property owners at S6.67 per year for 10 years.
 The bond issue proposition, if approved, will authorize the city council to sell bonds for street improvements. It will not require the council to sell the bonds
 1t should be understood that voting for the bond issue will not automatically produce street paving. The property owners must take the further step of the petition.
 When a group of property owners petition the council to form an improvement district for the purpose of street impove- nents, the council will form the district providing the petition re. presents 50 percent or more of the assessed valuation of the area described and if said area is of sufficient magnitude for 3 practical unit of construction
 After the formation of the dis. trict, plans and estimates will be prepared and bonds sold to GOV. CT the estimated cost of this work to be done in the district.
 The bond issue, if approved, will provide money for a con templated project of paving curb to curb from the hotel to Tost s garage and from Wards corner to the City Hall less the paving to be done by the Alaska Road Commission (ARC funds have been earmarked for a 24foot strip on Valley street from the highway to Wasilia road and from that corner to the Wasilla road city Iimits.) Upon compile sion of this project there should be enough left of the requested sS20o,000 bond authorization to provide for future improvement district petitions covering nearly three miles of strip paving.
 The request for the bond issue authority at this time would, if approved by the voters, make it possible for the city to join the ARC contact, thereby securing more favorable unit cost and thus saving to the city and the pror2axy owner.
 It IS suggested that any voter who has questions on this pro position direct them to Council men DeJuIio or Zahradnicek, the Council street committee, or to John Shaw, City attorney

The Arizona post., 1956-08-31

These six miles are no small
matter. Arrangements were
made for special streetcars,
buses and "els". Since the
majority of the delegates us
ed cabs, a special route was
laid out from the hotels to the
amphitheatre to facilitate the
flow of traffic.
When l commented to a cab
driver on the courtesy and
thoughtfulness of the police
toward the delegates, he ans
wered, "Wait until next week.
They'll make up for it."
1t took twice as many per
sons to report the news as 1t
took to make the news. There
were over four thousand peo-
pie representing newspapers,
radio and television. In front

abreast, and were kept in or
der by Andy Frain's trained
ushers.
This party was by invitation
only. The next day the news
papers announced that ten
thousand persons had attend
ed and "only" six thousand
invitations had been issued.
IDON'T KNOW how many
invitations were extended for
the Hartman party which
took place the following day,
but there were no long insur-
mountable lines. This should
have been the "sign" for the
Hartman forces.
The incest party was that
given by Governor Mcfarland
in his suite at the Conrad Hill
ton. It was for all members of
the Arizona delegation and
any other good Arizonians
visiting in Chicago. There
were drinks other than punch.
To me the highlights of the
Democratic National Conven-
ton were the fight over the
civil rights plank of the plat
form and the very exciting
race for vice president. I am
pleased that 81 of the 80 dele
gates of the Arizona delega-
ton were in favor of the civil
rights amendment. If this is
sue had been voted upon, then
Arizona's vote under the unit
rule would have gone for the
amendment.
TWAS VERY SORRY that
a roll call wasn't demanded by
the powers that were leading
the floor fight for the liberal
amendment. Our delegatlon
was told that eight states were
needed for a roll call vote and
at least ten states were IN
favor of such a move. When
no roll call was demanded it
became obvious that the
speeches were for the record
and that there was no hope
for the amendment if a vote
were taken. 1t is my opinion
The Arizona post., 1956-08-31

that the vote would have bee
close.

Abraham Lincoln became
the first President in United
States history to wear a beard,
just to please the heart of a
little girl.
The anecdote and a sur
prise epilogue to it was told
to members of the Capitol
Hill Club yesterday by Rep
resentative George A. Dom
dero, Republican Of Michigan.
Representative Dondero was
the clubs monthly mystery"
guest, his identity having been
kept a closely guarded secret
until his appearance at the
luncheon.
What a great many Amer
leans believe is a myth and a
legend is neither. but a true
story" he told the group. A
little 11-year-old daughter of
a blacksmith, chided by her
classmates for her choice Of
Abraham Lincoln for Presi-
dent because he had too many
deep lines in his face" wrote
him and in her childish scrawl
suggested he grow a beard to
hide the lines.
AS the story goes. the future
President received the letter
just % days before his election.
and took the time to answer
it. Then, as his inaugural train
was vending its way toward
Washington on February l6,
1861, he had the train stopped
in the little girls home town.
A neighbor had brought her to

the station to see her hero. A
few minutes after the train
stopped a tall, bearded man
stepped down to the platform,
gathered her up in his arms
and kissed her, and turned
to the crowd, saying You see,
Grace, I grew these whiskers
just for you"
The little girl was Grace Be-
dell. 1t was many years later.
during the 1905, that Repre-
sentative Dondero heard the
story from Grace herself. She
was then 80 years old, living il
a Western Kansas town. He
travelled 1000 miles just "to
meet her and hear the story
myself. Lincoln's letter to her, "
he said, was tackled to the liv-
ing room wall in an old-fash-
Toned picture frame"
Actually it was Grace'S long
ago letter to the President
which inspired the Represen-
tative's long journey. He was
visiting Mrs. Robert Todd Lin
coin at her home in Manches-
ter, VT, when a chance con-
versation revealed Mrs. Lin
coin had the letter in her pos
session. She not only told him
the story behind it but made a
gift of the letter to him.
II still have that letter
locked in a vault in my Office"
he told the Republican women.
and invited them to come see
it ANY time you wish"

Leo Goodwin, Sr., president of
Government Employees Insur-
ance Co., and it's affiliated COM
panies, has been elected a
director of the Riggs National
Bank, it was announced by
Chairman Robert v. Fleming
after a board meeting today.
Mr.. Fleming said Mr.. Goodwin
was a director of the former
Washington Loan & Trust Co.
and since consolidation of that
bank with Riggs National has
been serving ably as an honorary
director of the Riggs.
Mr.. Goodwin was one of the
founders of GEICO in 1886 and
became president of the auto
casualty firm in 1913. He also
is president of two affiliates, the
Government Employees Life In
surance Co. and the Government
Employees Corp.
He is president of the National
Association of Independent In
surerS, which has headquarters
in Chicago, and is founder of
the Leo Goodwin Foundation,
Inc, a philanthropic institution.

markets ability to hold these
levels. There are some chilling
presidents in history to warn
that a credit squeeze of this
magnitude usually is followed by
a stock-market decline.
3. Because of the credit
squeeze. bond prices have
slumped and returns available
from bonds have scared. Many
investors have been shifting
from stocks quoted at peak
prices to bonds quoted at cut
rate prices.
Suez Flareup Cited
4. The Suez flareup led to
some significant selling. The UNI
rest in the Middle East is def
nitely restraining investor en-
thuSiasm.
S. There is concern over the
ability OF the economy In 1857
to grow at a pace fast enough
to justify the pace at which
stocks have zoomed.
6. And finally, there is the po-
litical factor-but this isn't a
factor that can be neatly labeled
Ike" or "Adlai"! Rather, the
point is that if there is one thing
Wall Street abhors it is uncer-
tainty-and this applies whether
it's uncertainty over strike, a
wage raise, a new foreign mess,
or an election. Right now, there
is uncertainty over the election
just because the election has not
yet been held. This-and not the
identity of the winning party
is the depressing factor.

Wall Street Faces November 6
BY SYLVIA PORTER

On two successive days last
week, the stock market did these
|perverse things:
First, it went down, erasing
tens of millions of dollars in
stock values in few hours.
Then the next day. it went up,
thereby putting the tens of mil
lions Of dollars in values right
back.
On the first day, a popular
explanation Of the 'seers" who
report the stock markets mean
behring's was that the slump re-
iected growing fears that
president Eisenhower might not
be reelected"
On the next days upsurge, a
popular explanation was that
the market had discounted its
conviction that Adlai Stevenson
is no worse than an even-money
bet" and that traders were
cheered by the announcement
that Mr.. Eisenhower would cam
paign more vigorously in key
States.
Nonsense! Fiddlesticks! Bun
combe!
If the. men and women who
bought and sold stocks last week
did so only on the basis of their
Iup-down sentiments about Mr..
Eisenhower's reelection, they
were complete fools-and 1 We

ton of them.
