MAYOR DISGUSSES RAISING OF BONDED LIMITATION OF CITY AN INCREASE WOULD GIVE ADDITIONAL MARGAIN OF SOME $230,000 \ _____ REVIEWS PREVIOUS EFFORTS COUNCIL A Bill Giving City Power to Ex tend Bonded Limitation in Legislature Before. "It is gratifying to me to Bee that The Daily Intelligencer ls editorially endorsing my efforts to procure an amendment to the state constitution empowering Uris city to issue bonds for street improvements up to ir? per cent of the taxable value of the pro perty within the city," declared Mayor Godfrey yesterday afternoon. "In two recent issues Tho Intelli gencer has stressed tho need of an increased bonded limitation for this city," continued the mayor. "A meas ure looking toward this end, if pass ed by the general assembly and vot ed on favorably In the general elec tion in November, lJHBj would give this city on additional bond margin of approximately $230,000. in my olniOn it would not be necessary, nor do I blink it wise, to issac bonds to this amount for finishing the street paying in Anderson. An additional Issue of an amount considerably lesB than these figures would be sufficient, in my opinion, to finish the street paving, adding Ulis, of course to an equal amount to be received from the abutting property owners." When the general assembly was in extra session during the latter part of September, 1914, Mayor Godfrey drafted a bill or resolution, giving tills city the ower of extending the bond limitation. By referring to the minutes of the meetings of the city council it is seen that at the meeting of that body held Sept. 30tb, "Mayor Godfrey stated that be had drafted a resolution to be presented to the general assembly in Columbia submitting to ttie people of tho state In tho next general election the question of increasing the bond limitation from eight to US per cent of the taxable property of this city. Council went on record as endorsing the bill, and authorized'the mayor to go to Columbia and carry with bim persons; who in bis opinion, could be ot assistance in getting the general assembly to take favorable action on the bill." 'The minutes of the meeting of tho city council held October 8, 1914, read in part as follows: "Mayor Godfrey stated that he. Mr. K. P. Smith and Mr. C. E. Tolly had been to Colum bia to confer with the governor and ti e legislative delegation about get ting the passages of a resolution look ing toward an increase in the bond limitation to fifteen per cent, and that the prospects of getting the resaluden passed at the present sesslaa of thc general assembly look bad unless some person of influence with tho gov ernor could be sent to Columbia to confer with him. After some dis cussion lt waa decided' that the mayor get some one, wtto In his judgment was best suited to go to Columbia to try to get the matter passed by th-) general assembly." "The resolution," said Mayor God frey yesterday afternoon,, "was Intro duced in the house of representatives and passed one or two readings. Tho resolution was not passed by that leg islature." The mayor states that he wout to Colombia during the 1915 sts3iori or the general assembly and conferred about having if ic r?solu Con rassort then so that it might be vol rd on. ar the special election ordered on . rro hibltlon. "On investigating'the mat ter however, I learned that a pro posed constitutional amendment could not be vbtec on at ' a special cleo Hon; that lt woud havo to be vot ed on in a general1 election," ?aid the mayor. "This being tr.? essa nothing waa to be gained by having the 191S general assembly pas? the resolution, so it was held up Until the next general assembly, and the coun ty delegation will be asked to intro duce and support lt in the two branch?e of the body next January." Following ls the text of U.ie resolu tion drafted by Mayor Godfrey, which ?waa introduced, in the general as sembly in September, 191?, and which will be presented to the delegation in January: A Joint resolution to amend Sec tion 7, of Artlolo VIII, ot the consti tution of this state by adding a pro viso thereto so as to empower tho city of Anderson to Issue bonds to a" amount not exceeding fifteen per cent of the assessed value of the tax able property ?".verein foy the im provement of streets syd s Ide wal kn.
