TIE CITY SINKING FUND.


There can be no question about the value
and expediency of Sinking Fund to equalize
the burden of the city debt. From three to five
million dollars in city bonds fall due each year
until 1887, when over ten millions will have to
be paid out in that way IL these amounts, in
addition TO the interest or all the city debt,
had to be added to taxes each year, the burden
would sometimes be intolerable. But spread
over series of years by means of tho Sinking
Fund, the debt is equalized and made less bur
densomc. Hence, the frequent attempts that
have been made in tho Legislature to abolish
this Fund or impair its usefulness have de-
servedly received no support from the tax
payers of New-York City.
If the system under which the Sinking Fund
of the city is managed were not so cumbers ONE
and intricate, however, there would be no ex-
cuse fof legislative interference. Now Mt each
session OF the Legislature one or more bills are
introduced to effect change. That offered by
Senator Boyd yesterday proposes to prohibit
any further issue of bends payable from the
Sinking Fund, and TO provide for the cancel
lation of all bonds now held by the Com
missivners in excess of the claims against the
Fund. Controller Campbell objects to this bill
as an impairment of tho cty's obligations.
The revenues of the Sinking Fund and its nc
cumulations are pledged for the redemption of
the municipal debt. 1t is not quite clear how
ever, why the holders of bonds are any mere Sc
cure because the Sinking Fund Commissioners
retain $4,000 900 in bonds in their possession
instead of cancelling them, The theory is that
these bonds are held 50 that the interest on
them eau be paid. into the Sinking Fund and

4 The work of the police under Inspector
Byrnes on Monday night is greatly to their
credit. To be thoroughly effective, however
il should be followed up vigorously by more of
the same kind. The gamblers always reckon on
such losses occasionally, but their great gains
cannot stand steady police attention. The Dis
trict-Attorney's Office also has its part TO do in
this matter. That is to secure indictments
against the owners of the houses which these
sAw- breakers occupied-and to rY them, too.
