AxdordmglV, we are promised to make every effort to get the Municipal af
feir.; in shape, 'and to better prepare the Town to meet the requirements for the
immediate future. >' ■
\Ve favor the plans as initiated and promoted by the present Council for
the general improvements of the streets,- sewers and water system for the City,
and will continue to advance and prorriote these projects to every reasonable limit,
that is within the City’s resources and potential means, and with sUch expendi
tures as may be deemed valid, opportune and within the scope of true economy.
We are aware of the present limited revenues and finances of the City,
but are convinced that at this time we mtlst look ahead, and weigh the possi
bilities of the next few years with considerable study and intelligent foresight.
We, therefore, favor the bonding of the City for a loan to the amount of
$30,000.00 on the promise df the forthcoming and assuredly better years for the
City of Douglas. This money will permit the City Council to go ahead with the
work of Municipal improvements and putting the City in shape for a “bigger and
better” course. i , ; *
We favor the immediate completion of the Bear Creek Reservoir and Dam
for the City of Douglas, as the first project in the proposed improvemnt of the
water system. We know that this abundant fresh water supply is essential for
the City, a constant supply for the residents, and a protection for their homes.
It will attract more homes, and add to the sales of lots, and lower the rates for
fire insurance.
