Washington Inundated.

We are in receipt of a copy of the
Washington Daily Post giving graphic
description of terrible food with which
that city was visited last Saturday. II
takes between seven and eight columns
to tell the story. An ice gorge in the
Potomac caused it to overflow its banks
completely flooding the city in the low
er portions. There was six feet of water
from Washington monument to the Capt.
tOl. Nearly all the leading hotels were
flooded. The water came up six or eight
inches in the street cars and the passen-
gers rode, by kneeling on the seats. Sever
al cars, without passengers, were washed
from the track and the drivers escaped by
riding the horses. The long bridge was
badly injured, 200 feet being carried
away. At Washington market the wa
ter was up to the hubs of the wagons and
business had to be abandoned. Many
cellars of the business houses were filled
and the loss of property large. The
Botanical garden and the Smithsonian
and Agricultural grounds were more OF
less submerged. Trains and mails were
badly delayed. The force with which
the water rushed down street was tre-
mendous. Large sticks of timber. weigh
ing in the neighborhOod of from 1,5OO to
$500 pounds, were washed down that
thOrOughfare like straws.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10. 1881.
Water Works.


So far as we have learned the PROPOSE
tiOn to put in water works meets with
the general appreciation of our citizens
especially is this the case with the heav-
lest taxpayers in the village. Those
who have valuable property, realize the
Importance of having ample protection
from the rayages of fire, and in their
opinion the construction of water works
would afford this in the most satisfac-
tory manner and provide the most re-
liable protection. There are some few
of our citizens who seem to be little
frightened atsthe proposition on account
of the fear it will greatly increase the
burden of taxation. We think if they
will give the subject careful thought
they will find that it is more
scare than reality. Even if a tax
sufficient to put in the works should
be levied all in one year it would
not be such terrible burden to them,
no greater than many places are taxed
and survive. The assessed valuation of
the village is something over $SO0,0O0,
and to raise the necessary $4,000 would
require levy of 31s per cent on dol
lar, or $31.25sOn $1,000, add this to the
present tax for state, county, town. vii
lage, and all other purposes, $11.50 on
$1,000 and it would only make $42.75
per $1,000. But it is not proposed to pay
for it all at once. The proposition, as
we understand it, is to raise. the money
upon village bonds running term of 20
or 25 years. Such bonds at the present
low price of money should be negotiated
at a very low rate of interest. Detroit
city per cent bonds sell at premium
and although ChebOygan is not so large
or so well known, financially she is
better off than that city, being entire
ly out of debt. Admitting that the rate
of interest would have to be as high as
8 per cent, the interest would amount
on $4,000 to only $500 per apnum. The
liquor tax alone would pay the interest
and provide sinking fund sufficient to
pay the bonds by the time they became
due. Since the first of last May the vii.
lage has received $3,436.96 from this
source, and it is estimated that next
year larger amount would be paid
This does not look like the project would
prove very burdensome one. Next
week we will endeavOr to give more in
formation, that the voters when called
upon to decide the question may do Sc
understandingly.
