In Oregon's Athena on Oct 20 1922 William Jennings Bryan blasts the revenue bill as piracy and cites $450 million in profiteer refunds plus $90 million in tax rebates and rail subsidies. The town notes a gravity water supply issue, proposes expansion south to boost pressure, and mentions Walter M. Pierce's tax reduction stance.
Historic Athena election notice calls for a special ballot on Article XI financing and Article XII funding bonds to fund city debts. It details bond limits, tax levies, and procedures for auditing claims, with a November 7 1922 election date and official guidance for voters. The document also records related resolutions and charter amendments for city finances and indebtedness.
The Athena Common Council adopts a resolution to publish notice of a bond issue and election measures. The mayor approves it, and the city recorder is directed to publish twice weekly in the Athena Press starting October 27, 1922, with postings in three public places ten days before the election. The vote was five ayes, none on record as noes.
