Ab. These Bonds!

Evansville is about to issue one
hundred thousand dollars of nine per
cent. bonds. Her debt is climbing up
fast on the second million.-1erre
Hdute ETpress.
The action of the Council in order
ing the issuing of another hundred
thousand dollars in bonds is well cal
culated to startle the tax payers.
What is of equal cause of alarm is
the fact that these bonds are placed
in the hands OF the committee, the
Council not so much as determining
the length of time they are to run.
These bonds arc to be sold for the
purpose of keeping up the incidental
expenses of the city, and that, too,
just preceding the collection of taxes.
The fnanciering ability that runs up
a debt, as our debt is being increased
during the present year, is exceeding
" costly, to say the least of it.
