The City Council thought it good policy to take
advantage of the low rates Of interest now prevail
ing, and fund the temporary debt of the city at the
minimum rate of interest, the principal payable in
nstallments averaging only 5000 year for sew
enteen years. The rates Of interest hitherto PAID
have been from to per ct. We learn from Treas
urer Turner, that just about one half the amount
Of the bonds have already been sold at par, and
that probably the rest will be taken by investors
before the end of the year. The Maine Standard
of last week, in defiance Of TRUTH tried to give the
public to understand that these bonds care being
sold on the market to meet expenses, thus inJur-
ing their reputation and market value, and the ii :
nancal credit of the city. We pronounced the state
ment to be entirely false, and said that the con
trary the liabilities of the city have been diminish
ing evc,~siacc the laundering democratic admins
tration OF loG3 Q. This week the Standards fl
nancial editor repeats his falsebood as to the in
crease of the city debt; we say "fasehood," for
half-lie is worse than whole enc any time. lie
says the city debt, including hypothetical sum in
dispute between the city and village district has
been increased the last three years. But sup.
pose it would have been too manly and decent
forthe financial editor to have said, after look
looking as he did, at the Auditors figures fer
e. years past and finding our statement correct,
10 have said so, He thinks lie on six months is
better then the truth cash down. To settle the
matter finally, We give the following official fig
ures:
Liabilities of the city in 1869, 1921 ,l16.li
Liabilities of the city in 1910. 3l2,Sl6.l4
Decrease in seven years, $4,000
This reduction has been accomplished in spite of
a deficiency legacy of ST. .602.72 bequesthed by
the celebrated democratic administration of 1868 .,
caused by incompetency and disrputable manage
ment. The present year the liabilities will be re-
duced $4,000 more. We doubt if any city in the
State can make so good showing. So much for
the frothings of the Standard.
