Opponents Offer Support
Most of the day at city hall Wed-

bond election results. Hefner said:
"Since there were separate groups
supporting one of the 12 or more pro-
posed projects. I think we should con-

the people favored this one project. I
trust all of us will look to the future
now in building for a greater city."
He promised every safeguard over
expenditure of the funds and ex-
pressed belief the increased consump-
tion of water and increased revenue
will more than offset the interest on
the bonds.
Hefner said many of the opponents

make an investigation. There is a
trend all over the country toward de-

social problem and thus far there is
very little information available on
these homes.”
Keyes said the committee probably
