Lilo uidation. !"

For acute knowledge of finance, con-
prehensive understanding of law, and for
sagacious advice, the mayor and Alder
man Carse are respectfully referred to the
dual editor of the Union. The article this
morning on liquidation" is undoubtedly
its most mastery effort, and proves that,
if the people decide not to fund the debt,
we do not owe anything, and hence there
is no necessity for making provisions for
paying anything. The mayor will undoubt-
ealy take this into consideration 10 giving
the casting vote on Mr.. Lundy's ordinance.
He should decide this question at once, as
it is expected that the directors of the
glass works will Immediately invite the
dual editor to all their financial consulta-
tions. The addition of such keen and
subtle financial ability will make their
works even a greater success than they
were last year.

LIQUIDATION.
An Ordinance which. Cannot Wait until
after the Special Election.

The author Of the article in this morn
ings issue of the Union, under the caption
Of Liquidation" attempts to discuss a
question which he apparently does not
understand. In the first place very i'm
portant reason why the ordinance should
be passed prior to the holding of the
special election called for the purpose of
legalizing the floating debt, IS that the tax
levy for 1877 mast be made upon the End
Tuesday in the month of August, just one
week before the election takes place. If
no levy for liquidation fund is made
in 1877, then we must, in order to provide
for the redemption of the $25,G00 water
bonds which mature Feb. 1st, 1882, make
levy Of $4,000 next year, or else we
must increase the annual levy for the fund
to 5000, or adopt the only alternative,
vizA borrow money to pay off the first
lot of bonds that fall due. For, if the
first levy is delayed until August 1873, il
does not become available until May, 1879;
and the arrival Of the day of reekonin g
would find our fund about 100000 too
short to go round. If it would be policy
to create such a fund after the election,
then the voters should be acquainted
beforehand with the contemplated scheme,
that they may exercise their voting priv
ilege understandingly. Therefore, we
say to Mayor Butler cast your vote IN
favor of the Lundy ordinance; and. to
the taxpayers, vote to have the debt
funded, as the special tax, to which Alder
Imam Carse aud the Union refers, amount,
to simply this interest accounts al
the present time, amounts annually tc
about $2S. 900. In making the levy after
the passage of the Liquidation ordinance
it will read interest on municipal deb
$2l 900: Liquidation fund Sc, 500,'-mak
ing no change in the aggregate of the lev!
and will leave in the hands of the treas
. urer So, 500, to apply on the reduction 0
the debt.
