Galveston Bond Amendment Proposed to Authorize City County Issuance
Senate Joint Resolution 23 proposes amending Article sixteen to allow Galveston City and Galveston County to issue up to five million dollars in bonds for protective works including seawalls and breakwaters. It authorizes taxes to retire bonds with a sinking fund and directs a 1919 election. The measure sets voting wording for or against and appropriates funds for implementation.
