an attempted lynching, a daylight holdup and a street
shooting; Also three gangsters were arrested charged j
with the theft of $16,000 worth of whiskey. Seizure 1
of 8,000 cases of Canadian beer, consigned to a

Bond Issue Voting Tick

One.
The improvement and
paving of Broad street
from Lumpkin to Milledge
depends on the success of
the election to be held
Wednesday. The voters of
the city are to decide the
fate of the §50,000 bond
issue for this purpose.
Interest in the bonds has lagged
ever since .they were authorized
by council and their passage is
very doubtful. One mass meeting
was held in their interest last
week and at that time committees
were promised to work until tho
time the polls close. If these com*
Imittees were ever completed they
have not been very active though
they will probably function at th®
poIl 3 in getting out the vote.
need 1,120 VOTES THAT --
ARE FAVORABLE
A total of 1,120 favorable votes
is needed to carry the issue. This
is^ based on the registration of
2,218 for the primary of lost -
week. In the primary election
less than 1,400 voters cast their
ballots nnd it will be difficult, it
is believed, to get sufficient votes
out to carry the bonds.
However, it is felt by many cit
izens that the project is an im
portant one in the development of
tho city. It would open up a thor
oughfare that would greatly re
lievo congestion in all the western
section of the city. It would, im
prove property values as well and
would not increase taxes.
It was suggested last week,
when it was apparent that there
was a woeful lack of interest in
the bonds, to call the vote off*Jbsn|
