Proportion OF Revenue from Croton
Water TO the Outstanding Crot0n
Water Debt.

Water Debt.
Commissioner Van Mort states that the outstand.
ing Indebtedness Of the city on account OF the Cro
ton aqueduct reservoirs mains, &c, on March 81
last S1o.27o 1885, bearing interest at the rates
OF five, six and seven per cent, the average being
about six per cent, making the annual interest on
the debt $976,209. The revenue from Croton water
rents, penalties and tapping pipes collected by the
Department OF Public Works in 1873 was 81, ,42S 931,
peing increase OF $221 s42 over the receipts OF
1871. To this should be added the amount OF Cro-
ton water rents returned In arrears $50, $40 which
Is a lien upon property, and will ultimately be COL
lected making the total revenue for 1873 47e57
giving nine and one-tenth per cent the debt.
Taking six per cent as the average rate OF inter-
est, the revenue Tor the year 1873 would leave q
surplus OF f503, 362. During Commissioner Van
Norts administration the increase in revenue has
been more than sufficient TO pay interest on the in
crease OF Indebtedness incurred for the extension
OF the Croton main system, the construction OF
reservoirs and the alterations OF the aqueduct II
tue revenue, therefore, was applied to the paw
ment OF interest on the Croton water debt, and
the surplus paid into sinking fund for Its redemp
ton, 1t would be extingushed in eighteen years.
