To The 1lnnorable Mayor and City Council City of Caldwell Caldi.all, Idaip We the undersigned citizens of 90 days or more residence of the City of Caldwell and property owners anu tax payers of the City of Caldwell, eli- ,;ible to :ote on issuance of bonds, believing That an emereney exists, herby- respectfully oetitior. your honorable body to order a special bond election for the purpose of de�e,mfni.ng the wil! of the eligible voters on the question of issuing municipal bonds of the City of Caldwell to finance the construction of a iire hall and necessary up -to - fire fighting equipment. Ie deem this proposed improvement essential to The safety and protection of property and the tuture growth and prosperity o1 the city and noel chat an expenditure necessary for this purpose uou.ld be justified 9y the following opecific reasons, among others) 1. Special Electipn= 1 "Ie believe that a pecial election for this specific purpose which mijht be presented to the voters as a single issue is desirable in order to 1 ree the question from any personalities or political influence which v .,ild otherwise be present at a -eneral election or bond election at which other improveme=nts are considered. 2. Amo.mt, Design, L Time of Construction: It is believed that it would be desirable to have this issue decided now and the amount to he spent, the design of: the structure and equipment, and the location and time of constriction to be determined by the new incoming city administration. 3. Favorable Bond piiarketz The present market for municipal bonds is favorable at this time and the interest races are about the lowest on record. This favorable situation may change as more and more public bonds are placed on the market. 4. Favorable Survey Ratios The City of Caldwell at present has a favorable survey rate. The City was last surveyed and rated by the Idaho Surveying and Rating Bureau in 1936. A new survey is pending and because of several factors, increased population, greatly increased property values, mid depreciation of fire fighting equipment and stricture housing same, it is inevitable that this present favorable rating will be changed adversely unless action is taken at once to provide for the needs.
