The City Debt of Mobile.
Mobile News.l

II is the custom among the Chinese on the
approach Of their New Years festivities to
have q general settlement Of accounts, and to
not allow the New Years morn to dawn on
we know our people cannot by any means fol-
low the example of these uncivilfzed Celes-
tials, still 1t is well for q community at this
season OF the year to consider the financial
obligations resting upon them, and the means
at their disposal with which to meet them.
The city of Mobile has now a debt resting
upon her, which, under the operations Of the
funding bill of 1876, has been greatly reduced
from Its original proportions A large por-
ton of 1t was settled at 30 cents on the dol
that was brought in to be funded was reduced
from to per cent. The amount still out
standing Of the old Indebtedness, amounting
TO over $4,000 can doubtless be compromised
on equally reasonable terms. Assuming then
that after this is done the debt of the city will
the question arises can the interest on IT.,
amounting to S120. 900 annually. be paid.
One thing Is certain, and that is that every
exertion must be made to do 30. The holders
Of city securities, who brought them in to be
funded, did SO relying upon the city's good
faith. What would have been the result Ii no
funding act had passed can be seen from the
annoyance that has been experienced on &C
count Of the suits that have been brought
against the city by parties who declined to
easy work to induce many Of those who did
settle, TO agree to the reduction OF their princ-
pal ofle-h half and of the interest on the reduced
amount one-fourth.
There has been good deal Of talk about
the different descriptions of bonds issued by
Che city In past years. Many hold the opinion
that faint rested on some classes, though
they fully believe In paying others. In MAX
ing general settlement, however, 1t would
have involved the city In endless litigation to
have proceeded on such an assumption.
4 The issue also would have been doubtful. for
the forms of law seem to have been observed
In the cases which are complained Of. For
example, the bonds issued TO the Mobile and
Northwestern Railroad were voted by boards
composed of our best citizens, and on the Pc
tition OF q large number OF taxpayers and
property holders. The question now for our
new municipal government to meet Is, can
the interest on the debt be paid
We think 1t can by iudicious management
and proper economy.
