There has been much discussion among taxpayers as to the question’ of the bond issues. Most of the discussion has opposed bonding the city any more at the present time. It is, urged that all citizens go to the polls and express their convictions on the subect of issuing $30,000 of bonds. Ample opportunity is offered every voter to cast his ballot, between 8 A. M, and 9 P. M. The question of issuing bonds for certain purposes has been talked of many times, but have been put over because of ‘high war prices and diffi- culty of selling bonds except at a very high rate of interest. The same chfficulty with: regard to the bond - market prevails now. Offerings of in- dustrial securities has forced ‘the municipal ‘bond rate to be a higher figure and some cities have difficulty in disposing of bonds. A proposal to issue bonds. for certain purposes was laid over several times by the former city commission, BUSINESS FOR FIREMEN, POLICE GROWING DULL Business for fire and police of- .ficers has slackened.
