6, lAibbock, (Texas), Avalanche, 5, 1945 City's Bond Program To Provide Many Needed Projects, Is Claim Progressively higher property valuations which will come as the city grows will keep the tax rate down and will offset to de- the costs that would accrue the city if the $5,894,000 bond proposal is approved by the voters next Tuesday, Robert H. Bean, attorney, declared in a talk Tuesday noon before the Optimist club in Lubbock hotel. Bean said it was commonly estimated that the proposed issue would increase tax rate to 40 cents on the $100 aluatipn. "Personally, I don't believe it will ever be that mrch because of the city's constantly increasing valuations," Lions club members heard two speakers refer to Lubbock's bond issue election in talks Tuesday at their luncheon at the Hilton hotel. "Dallas ought to come out here and get some real spirit," Dr.

W. A. Cris pastor of the First Baptist church of Dallas, declared at the outset of his talk. "Why, that Lubbock will have a population of 100,000 in the matter of two weeks I had no more than arrived here when I soon learned how this and that piece of real estate was selling I have also learned that you are soon to vote on a bond issue for vast public improvements Let me add that money is not anything compared to the destiny of your city." Wood Also Speaker W. C.

Dr. Criswell, who is here for the Tech Religious Emphasis week, declared "It does us good to remember the debt America owes Almighty God How indebted to Almighty God we are for this great and vast land of ours with all its resources How indebted we are to Almighty God for the government under which we live For on the personality of God cur ore- iathers launched our great ship of state We are indebted to God not only for our spacious land, our kind of government, but the character of our people The strength of our nation lies in the religious convictions of its people." Spirit Is Wood declared that "the Lubbock spirit" had been responsible for the" growth and progress of our far-but-next week we will be standing at the crossroads and we must decide whether we will go forward or starid'still. He listed the water improvement program as the No.

1 item of importance in the bond election and declared that "Lubbock has gone as far as it can without an DON'T, BE A SLAVE CONSTIPATION 'As Millions Do Eat EgLLOGG'S ALL-BRAN For Lasting- Relief -fCeSrtipated?
