Water Rents. present and future and the interest
on the Sinking Fund. will amount to So. 400, which
leaves an excess of s., 800, after paving 8 per
cent. ON the 100000. This sum Of "a, 800. set
apart as n Sinking Fund. with the yearly addi-
ton to il Of Sl,S9o. will pay OF the 100000 in
nine and hdlf years. aud leave the principal Of
the present Sinking Fund, Ito wit: S3l ,400l. and
this, with the yearly addition Of $4,000. will dis
charge the original loan in three and u hGIf years:
and so, at the expiration NJ thirteen yenrs, we
shall have the Water Works (ncw and old fully
paid for, and yielding to the City yearly revenue
of IS 400. And this desirable result will lie ac
complishcd without any increase OF our popula-
ton. With n fair increment, the results must be
more favorable.
In view of these facts we cannot doubt as to
the decision of an intelligent constituency upon
the question submitted to them We trust every
voter will inform himself upon the subject before
casting his vote, and we invoke the closest scrui-
ny into the correctness of all our statements. We
have made them from a sense Of public duty with
an earnest desire that proper judgment shall he
pronounced; and having done so the responsibility
must rest upon those whose interests ure involved.
