INTEREST IN ELECTION
FOR BONOS ON FRIDAY
Between the hours of nine o’clock
tomorrow (Friday) morning and four
o’clock in the afternoon, the people
of Fort Valley will pass upon a pro¬
posed bond issue of $30,000 for san¬
itary sewerage in sections of the city
in which such sewerage has not been
already provided.
The official ballot gives every
voter his choice, “for sewer bond,”
or “against sewer bond.”
Interest in this election has grown
considerably during the last few
weeks, inasmuch as some parts of
the city which have been largely im ¬
proved in the last year or two and
embrace quite a slice of the popula¬
tion are much in need of sanitary
sewerage. ,
