$11,000 on its bonded indebtedness,
thus reducing the outstanding in
debtedness to $80,000, it was revealed
by W. G. Newby, Town Clerk. Mr.
Newby said that originally the in
debtedness totalled $225,000.
He added that on June 15, 1915,
the town issued bonds in the amount
of $50,000 for purchase of water and
light plants at an interest rate of
five per cent and the first due date
of principal was in 1945, $10,000 of
which was paid and this second in

Interest on this debt, Mr. Newby
said, has amounted to $75,000 or one
and one-half times more than the
principal borrowed.
Mr. Newby said he desired to give
the details of this indebtedness so
that the generation which .was un
born at the time of the transaction
may know something about the finan
cial, position of the .town.

Ftr Belvidere Township
We who have known SHELTON G. CHAPPELL personally for many years are proud
to have such a straight-forward and public spirited man in the race for County Commissioner
from Belvidere Township,
He served in World War I with the famous Rainbow Division. Although it was im-
v
possible for him to serve in the Armed Forces during World War II, he took his place out
front in doing a great job of helping to win the war at home. He gave freely of, his time
and the use of his car, and it is a known fact that he gaw more free time than any other
person in the county in helping, with the many bond and scrap drives.
In seeking the office of County Commissioner he has no thought of any personal interest
or gain. We know that having personally- made the derision to enter the race for Commis
sioner, he has only the interest of the people at heart.
It is our sincere desire that you join with us u helping to elect such an honest and reli-
- able man to the office of County Commissioner fronx Belvidere Township.
