Decatur Ex-Mayor Warns City Over Bond Issue Plans
Former Mayor Henry A. Skeggs urges Decatur citizens to review city records before June 15 1916 election on a $50 000 municipal electric plant bond. He cites existing franchises and rate contracts with Alabama Power, warns of tax and license increases, and argues for rate adjustments under current agreements rather than new debt.
