Dr. Hune stated he received
his diploma and license on April

patients to sleep) for extracting
teeth. He did that without any
help or assistance.

Clerk Harry G. Richcreek said
very little if any promotion
being planned for this bond
issue, which was submitted by
the Caldwell village council.
Attorney L. C. Young, who
also serves as solicitor for the
village, said the $71,000 was only
a "drop in the bucket" and the
actual cost of such a disposal
system would be at least $350,000
or $400,000
Although some of this total
cost will be financed by revenue

would be met by direct taxation

It has been advanced that
public opinion is still against
such a taxation on local prop
