Dolton To Vote On Bond Issue In Special Election
Dolton village trustees set a special election for March 30 to approve a bond issue not exceeding 40000 dollars aimed at relieving financial strain, avoiding potential suits, and restoring credit confidence. Voters face two paths: approve and repay over 20 years or reject and risk court judgments and a heavy one time levy. The Pointer will publish the election notice and ordinance in the next issue.
