College Station
Votes On Bond
Issue Next Month
The College Station city council
has ordered a special election Dec
ember 17, when qualified voters
will go to the polls to decide on
issuance of $100,000 in bonds for
city improvements, Mayor Ernest
Langford announced today.
Money obtained from sale of
the bonds, if voted, will be split
into three parts, Langford indi
cated. A sum of $50,000 will be
used to improve and extend the
present city sewerage system,
$35,000 will pay for bettering the
waterworks system, and $15,000
will be used to improve the elec
tric distribution network in the
city. *
The proposed bonds, according
to City Manager Francis A.
Vaughn, will be ad valorem tax
bonds, issuance of which would
raise the city tax rate by 40 cents
of the $100 valuation, although
the hike will not be effective for
one year. The polls will be open
from 8:00 a. m. to 7:00 p^ m. on
December 17, Vaughn said.
