Description |
Letter dated 7/23/1906 to James Bellangee from Joseph Fels in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Fels is responding to Bellangee's worry about the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation special election referendum of the same date in which a proposal to have "an intermediary of trustess" to incur indebtedness for a public service (water works) project is on the ballot. Fels does not think the proposal will be "breaking the constitution" of the Corporation because the revenue of that public utility will be used to pay the "honest debt." Further, Fels says The Fairhope Improvement Company (of which he is a major stockholder) can shoulder the financing. He encloses a letter 1.11.43) he has received from R. F. Powell who has the same sympathies for the referendum. Fels urges Bellangee to "stand together.". From the papers of Anne Bellangee Call. See 1.11.39 for the ballot. |
