G.ander the act ol Congress of March 8rd,1879.r ' Salisbury, N C, July 21, '15 THE BOND ISSUE. The Board of Aldermen have oalled an election for Saturday the 7th day of August, for the purpose of voting $200,000 in bondi into thsir hands, ostensibly to be used as follows: $55,000 for schools in. territory that has never paid a oent into the city treasury: $125,000 for a water plant that will be just as much subject to the rise and fall of the supply as we now have and no purer, in faot a mere catch basin for tne sewerage ana poisonous dyes emptied into it at Oopleemee and $20,000 said to be for sewer age and streets. Now, the troubles with this - scheme are so numerous that it would take several months to en umerate them and .inform the public as to their probable effects For instance we have no guarantee and can be given none that this large-sum of money will be spent as indioated, even if the people were in favor of the items that are sag gested, or we might say the "planks" in the money lord's platform, for, like all -platforms they are made merely to catch votes, and, when carried, it will be spent just as though it w&s private funds, and as the ruling element of the board may choose regard lesi of the public's wishes, at least tnus it nas oeen with their con duct so fa. The items mentioned in this platform have not been demanded by any appreciable number of the taxpayers of the community, and the need for any of them is not pressing. If we are not mistaken there axe now, or should be on band a lot of unused bonds for street work, also $50,' 000 borrowed, or permission grant ed to borrow, for the purpose of laying another pipe line from the pump house to the stand pipe. If this last item has been used, or aocounted for, it slipped pur no tice. If any part of the proposed issue is to be used in the recently acquired seotions of the city we are all loss to .understand how people who have never, and before having paid anything into the city treasury, can reasonably expect anything, certainly not for some years to come Nor do we believe our newly acquired citizens who have not been accustomed to pay ing oity taxes, will take kindly to DOUBLE TAXES and then SOME. The renter will especial ly be awake to the situation for, with' an inorease of ten cents per month in taxes on a piece of prop erty, his rent will SURELY jump up a dollar per month or more. Thus the renter will PAY the LANDLORD'S TAXES and give him a PROFIT besides. We have talked with seorei of citisens, men who have lived here, done business here and paid taxes here for twenty to fifty years and longer, men who by their efforts, money and enterprise, men who by reason of priority, publio and private interests and justice HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HEARD, I and have found very few who fa vor the proposed deal . So, it is not the homestead owners of Sal isbury, nor a majority of the reli able business men of the oity, who wish to add this burden to our al ready high taxes. It is not cur desire to create prejudice against any good men who may wish to tc take up their abode in Salisbury, but rather to give them the right hand of fel lowship with a hearty welcome, yet the little smart Alex's who coma and try to take charge of the community before getting their seat warm need to be shown that the place has not and will not te turned over to them to run as they may wish. Take note of these who are "boosting" this bond is sue, and remember they . may' not be here when the time comes-to pay the bill. . Don't allow them to mislead you. In regard to the present water supply the analysis shows that' Salisbury has purer water than; most cities and it has been reiter-' ated tunes without number that' 8ftlia)mry's water is of .the bast. The . reoent report of the water board stated that- the plant, has been kpt in oonditiou, consider able betterments had : been added and no complaint of bad-condition, w-rnoufc equipment, cor laok of supply. In the summer erf 1911 when Crane Creek, Grant Creek and the Yadkin River came near running dry, if we are not mistaken, the water beard having suoh an abundant supply of water on tap; "wisely" made a contract to furnish the town of East 3pn car with water, constructed mains and f qaipmant to that town and are yet supplying water there So, we have water to spare. As for the streets, sewerage and schools, there is no pressing need, at least no greater than heretofore and, if these things are needed no one has any assurance, unless it is some schemer who wants bis prop erty improved so he can sell it at a better price, that these things win oe supplied, if the bonds are voted. The controlling element of the present board having for feited the confidence of the pub lio cannot now rid t'je publio of the idea that their wishes will not be considered in this matter, so the whole thing falls flat and should be burried under an avalanche of votes. The citisens of Salisbury, though the fairest promises were made them, have been deceived along these lines several times in the not very distinct past and, it is not likely that they will again permit a lot of hot air artists to do so again soon . The rate of taxation in Salis bury is now about 2 per cent., which is equivalent to over one- third of the business and private property here being under mort gage. If the rate is increased, and there is plenty of evidence to prove suoh will be the case and has always been the case, the in-1 crease will not fall short of a pub Ho confiscation of all nronertv. - 9 making conditions equivalent to doing business,. or buying s home on borrowed money. Of course this condition will not injure the fellow who ''boosts" today and is gone tomorrow. The homeowners and business men will be left to bold the bag. It ia very well to give ear to any reasonable proposition advanced by reasonable men, but we are thorongly convinced that-this rule has no application in this instauee. What corporation, business or en terprise have you ever heard of where funds were paid out to par ties who had paid nothing in? The city's greatest expense to day is the interest on bonds. Shall we bury ourselves deeper? Register and vote against this soheme. Fourteenth annual eduoational edition of The News and Observer, Raleigh, is a very creditable effort, better, we believe than heretofore. There has been some disoussion as to the Salisbury curfew law, a thing that seems to have gone by default. For a time it was fairlv well enforoed, the old oourt bouse bell being rung, during Mr. Thompson's administration at 0 p. m., as notice to the boys to get off the streets. The bell ringing was later changed to 10 o'olock, and, when the old oourt house was remcdeled and the bell removed; no signal has since been given the boys and the law seemB to have died a nataral death. Thb Watch man looked upon these efforts of officially administering the duties of parents wjth indifference at the same time offering no protest for, if the parents will not give their offspring the attention they need, then it may be proper , for the State to make up for the delin quency. It is strange indeed that many parents do not seem to be willing to give the young the care and attention necessary for their physical, moral and mental de velopment, in fact this trait, ef- orts to unload their responsibili ties on others or the p'nbho, is be coming so pronounced that i t might be proper for the - State to ay down suoh regulations in re gard to the matter and thus use an ounce of prevention instead of the tardy pound of questionable oures in the way of reformatories, curfews, playing grounds, etc - MORGAN X ROADS.
