Waterworks Debt Dreads Roblin Voters in 1957

A Roblin letter argues against funding waterworks and sewers via heavy debentures. It questions the Chamber of Commerce role, asks who asked for the project, and warns of rising taxes, long debt, and higher mill rates. The writer presents detailed cost estimates, noting a 21 year repayment totaling about 644 thousand dollars on a 359 thousand borrowing and urges a vote against the by law.
