A GREAT VICTORY FOR PROGRESS
Nogales people yesterday voted almost unanimously for the $220,000 civic bond issue, the taxpayers thereby endorsing the paving program as inaugurated by the city council.
The passage of the bond issue yesterday was a tribute to the progressiveness of the city. The action of the citizen taxpayers will mark a new era for Nogales.
Yesterday's election sounded the death knell to unpaved streets and tolled a fond goodbye to the dust and filth caused by country roads which we are using and calling city streets.
The passage of the bond issue authorizes the officials to issue and sell bonds on the city of Nogales to the extent of $220,000. Of this amount $150,000 can be used to pave frontage of city property, street intersections and establish drainage; $50,000 will be used to install new water mains and replace old wornout mains; $20,000 will be used for extension and disposal of city sewerage.
The endorsement of the voters of the civic bond issue is a great victory for progress. It means a bigger, better and cleaner city. It means that Nogales will no longer have the name of being the largest unpaved city in the state.
Mayor Harry Karns and the board of aldermen have worked faithfully for the bond issue and presented a sound, sensible paving program. Public spirited citizens rallied to the support of the issue and the unanimous result yesterday was the result of civic pride.
For years the Herald has urged paving and did not hesitate to place itself squarely behind the bond issue and paving program.
Time is now the factor. The bonds must be printed and sold. We understand that the bond market is very good at the present time and especially good for a growing city like Nogales.
Contracts will be sought and the type of paving selected. There is a mass of detail work to be done yet but we have a working council and we can now rest assured that the streets will be paved at the earliest possible time.
The paving of the streets will loose thousands of dollars. The work will generate prosperity. More people will come to Nogales to establish their residence. More homes will be built.
The Herald again praises the city council for the sensible course and compliments the people of this city on their verdict to get Nogales out of the dirt.
