posed charter—planning, zoning
and housing that Ennis’ offer at
$25.00 per acre should be with-
drawn, pending the apixjintment of
a planning commission, the survey
and reappraisal of this property, is
a .sii" test ion the city commission
should well entertain.
I shall point up, as one who is
sincerely interested in Ennis' fu-
ture, the $200,000.00 'principal and
interest' highway mistake, which
was made on a snapshot judgment
and polltica 1 grounds, and which
i; the major one of the direct
c; uses that, w II put the city books
in the red in August next.
Ennis’ bonded indebtedness, rev-
enue bond $250 000 00 Tax bonds,
$422,000.00 Total. $091,000.00 (prin-
cipal', the interest added, nobody
knows, because refinancing will set
in before the debt ends. But don't
you wuiry about the end when tli •
debt is finally extinguished, be-
came you won’t be here, unless
you were bo'n last night, as the
biblical version limits man’s life
to three score years and ten. Upon
this debt, we .shall pay this year,
in addition to sinking fund and
debt retirement, $17,092.50 Int.
So, brother tax payei, don’t beef
about your taxc., lor likely you are
among those who have contributed
to Emus’ delinquency. So, keep
your clnn up, keep walking, but do
open your eyes before you run into
something else.

While the certain isues may not

Our neighboring city of Corsi-
