Bond Issue Proposed for Pomeroy Street Cleaning

Pomeroy residents are urged to approve a 15000 bond for street cleaning equipment. Mayor E F Robinson says a motorized unit could clean all paved streets in two days, with weekly cleaning possible. Current setup uses handbrooms and two workers, delaying other streets. The bond costs about 70 cents per thousand of assessed value, under 2 dollars annually for most. The measure requires 85 percent to pass and runs five years.
