Rossella lives at 2026 St. Paul Street with her parent Mrs. Rose Clemmons and Terri lives at 6521 Hidden Forest Un ihe Apnl 8 Bond Referendum t ‘ • Continued from page 1 enterprise. ..The disadvantage of the "yes” vote for the public transportation system bonds is that you are giving the city the authority to levy taxes in . an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and the interest on the bonds. . .Thus the overall operating cost of the'' public transportation system will be passed on to you directly. Here again you must weigh the overall benefits against what it is going to cost you. SIDEWALKS . .The city is requesting $1,500,000 in bond money to provide sidewalks throughout Charlotte. The advan> tage of having sidewalks is one of safety. Sidewalks provide a means of safe travel for pedestrians. There should be no question in anyones mind of the importance of this issue. .. But there are several objections to this bond issue and rightfully so. The biggest objection is that no pre determination of sidewalk placem-, ent is made. Hence, after you pay ■ your tax dollars you still may end up without sidewalks in your commu nity. RECREATION FACILITIES .. The city proposes a recreation facilities bonds (Bikeway system) at a cost of 1500,000. The rationale behind this bond proposal is that safety of bicycle facilities for both recreational and utilitarian usage. ..In Charlotte it is estimated that 00,000 bicycles are in use. In 1974 only 90 people were injured on bicy cles in Charlotte. This comes out to be less than one six of 1 percent. Therefore to spend 1500,000 on safety when only 90 people out of a possible 60,000 might be asking a bit much. The city is also asking for the authority to levy taxes to pay for the bonds if the situation warrants it. . The last item on the ballot is for giving the city the right to levy annual property tax to help provide funds for the operation and mainte nance of the public bus and trans portation system. A vote of “yes” on item 2 of the ballot (public transpor tation bond) coupled with a vote of “yes” on this item will give the city the right to double tax you on the public transportation bond. The first tax involves the paying back of the principal and interest of the bond and the second tax will be for paying the operating and maintaining costs. ..Again this is an objective look at the bond referendum. I have gone at length in trying to show you the issues as they are without any out side factors. Of course, if you dislike the Mayor, or you think the City ( ouncil stinks, or you have a pass grudge with the city, or you are going through the change then you might vote using outside factors. . .Most of the items on the referen dum are good and most are costly. Hence, ask yourself "How is this bond item going to affect me," "Will it be good for me”? Then ask yourself, "Am I willing to pay for It”? If your answer is “yes” to both questions vote “yes” on the ballot. Otherwise vote "no.” JAREN MCCOMBS j ...Gartnger High MARILYN WATKIN8 ...Independence High I Drive with her parents Mr. and Mrs. John R. Mitchell. ..
