WHITE HEN RE INSTATED
Nearly all the white men who were
discharged at the Ball & Peters grav
el pit some time ago were this week
put back to work. A small race roit
occurred there some time ago, and tin
contractors believing that the white
men from Newark were the instigators
of the affair, discharged all of them.
This was followed by an annonymous
warning to the negroes to leave, and
they skipped. The negroes were
afraid to return to the job and as a
result, operations have been rather
crippled until the old crew was taken
back this week.

MANY SAFEGUARDS
ABOUT AMENDMENT
Restrictions Placed About Right
of Cities and Towns to
Issue Bonds.
PEOPLE VOTE ON QUESTION
Each Proposed Bond Issue Must Be
Submitted at Election Held for
That Purpose.
So many safeguards have been plac
ed about the proposed constitutional
Amendment No. 15, which will give
cities and incorporated towns of mor*
than 1,000 population the right to is
sue bonds for public improvements,
that virtually no criticism has been
made of the provisions of the measure.
Amendment No. 15 first restricts the
purposes for which bonds may be is
sued. It provides that bonds can be
issued to secure money only for public
improvements of a general nature-^’
improvements which will be of use and
benefit to all the residents of the city
or town proposing to spend the money.
Bonds can be issued for the construc
tion of public highways, streets, al
leys, and boulevards: for the pur
chase and equipment of parks and
playgrounds, for the construction of
sanitary or drainage sewers; for the
purchase and construction of city halls,
prisons, libraries, hospitals, fire sta
tions and equipment, viaducts and
bridges, for public buildings of all
kinds for the purchase or construc
tion of waterworks, lighting plants
and street railways, but it is specifi
cally provided that bonds shall not be
Issued to aid in the construction of
railroads or enterprises operated by
any private corporation. It is furiher
provided that no money raised for a
specific purpose shall be used for any
other or different purpose.
The most important safeguard, how
ever, is that which prevents the is
suance of any bonds unless the peo
ple of the city or town order that they
be issued. The adoption of Amend
ment No. 15 when it is submitted to
the people of the state on September
P, will not open the way to the is
suance of any bonds until the voters
of a city or town decide that they
wish to raise money in that way for
public improvements. A bond issue
can be authorized only at an election
held for that specific purpose. In the
first place the city council must pass
an ordinance setting forth the specific
purpose for which the bonds are to be
issued, if approved by a majority of
the voters. The ordinance must also
state the sum total of the bonds to be
issued, and the dates of their matur
ity, and must fix the date of the elec
tion so that it will not occur earlier
than 60 days after the adoption of the
ordinance.
The mayor is required to give notice
of the election by an advertisement
appearing at least four times in some
newspaper published in the city, the
last publication to be not less than 30
days before the election.
Further safeguards are provided af
ter the voters have cast their ballots.
The amendment provides that the
votes shall be convassed by the mayor
and the Board of Public Affairs, if
there be a Board of Public Affairs, it
there is no Board of Public Affairs,
the votes shall be canvassed by the
mayor and by three qualified electors
of the city who are owners of property
and who shall be selected by the coun
ty judge of the county in which the
city or town is located.
The amendment also provides that
the election must be held at the same
precincts and with judges and clerks
as other city elections are held, and
under the general elec'ion laws. The
object of those who drafted the amend
ment, it is declared, was to make it
not only possible but certain that the
public should be thoroughly advised
through all proper channels of the
time of the election, the places where
the polls will be located and the pur
pose to which the proceeds of the pro
posed bond issue, if voted, will be ap
plied.
The provision in the constitution
of 1874 prohibiting cities and towns
from issuing bonds for public im
provements was the result of unusual
conditions which existed nearly half
a century ago. Similar restrictions
adopted in other Southern states dur
ing the same period ha\- been re
moved. Arkansas is the onh state
that has not taken such action and
she has a chance to do so by adopting
proposed Amendment No 15 on Sep
tember 9.
The rights of the taxpayers have
been closely safeguarded in proposed j
constitutional amendment No. lf>,|
which is to be voted upon September!
9. Provision is made for full publi
city of all matters connected with a
proposed bond issue and for 60 days'
notice of every election held for the
purpose of voting on the question of
issuing bonds.
Under the proposed constitutional
amendment No. 15, bonds can be voted
by the people of a eity or town of
more than 1,000 population only for
some specific purpose and money
raised for one purpose cannot be
used toe any other.
