You will 1)0 failed upon tonioiTow io vote ul a special election upon two propo
sitions. Kirsl,io vote bonds for $20,000 for aiding in the construction ol! a new bridge
across Hear Creek.
The money for this bridge should Imvq been saved from tho road fund, but it
was used for current expenses by diversion to other funds, thereby preventing
higher tax levies.
The present bridge is inadequate, there, is more traffic over it than all other
bridges in the county combined. The new bridge is needed badly, thoreforo every
one should vote for tho bonds.
The second proposition is the amendment to tho city charter gratifying the
spleen of the city council, by substitutiugtelophono poles for newspapers' in tho
publication of assessment ordinances.
If you beliovo in publicity of city affairs, that newspaper printing at legitimate
rates is a better sourco of information regarding the assessments made upon your
property, than posting on tolophone posts,you will vote no upon this amendment.
Tho community is judged by its newspapers, and tho bettor support given, tho
better the newspaper resulting.
