THE JERSEY CITY SINKING FUND.

Allan L. McDermOtt, +. F. G. Young, D. ID |SrScaE
lon and George W. ClerIhew a committee appointed
by the Board Of Finance investigate the condition OF
Jersey Cys Sinking Fund.- submitted their report yes
teriay. They find that under tho present system OF
fiscal management the only fund to which we may look
for items of credit Except the item Of s144oo in the
fund Of 1885, before the collection OF 6s per cent OF
tax levy Is the fund Of 1873. That fund Is tho only
one with tho exception above noted. which appears
10 have received any credits. This fund received
from It's inception to the 9th OF December, 1888, tho
total sum OF 81 10. OF this amount o46 o2S
have beoa used for the payment Of bonds.'
In speaking Of the practice which has prevailed Of
borrowing the money Of the fund for current expenses
on temporary loan bonds, the report says "whatever
merits may be credited to this custom must rest the
ground of convenience, and its continuance WILL in
our opinion, prove destructive to the integrity Of the
sinking funds. The fact that the assets OF the fund
are now almost wholly composed Of these temporary
loan bonds demonstrates this proposition, and the
further ono that practically tho only sinking fund Of
Jersey City Is to-day the unpaid taxes and assess

HOnely Philosophy.

Insincerity Is often mistaken for lack
Of honesty.
The ring of gold is often the kncll Of
friendship.
They never need fear fall who never
scale the heights.
Adversely undernincs many a structure
of prosperity.
lie who wisely uses his wealth need
not leave It for his tombstone.
The sight ofa mans money is often.
times the antid0tc for the odor of very
bad character.
II you would avoid the suspicion of
your neighbors. meyer carry your molas.
SEES IN den.ij0hn.
Prosperity awaits all men, aud even
pursues some, but II is never found in the
haunts Of vice.
True genius lurke,h under cover, while
arrogance stalks about in the full light Of
day.
The mos, wonderful work Of God is
man but brand him slandcrcr ani God
will disown Ills work.
The wisest fish long escapes the most
dangerous hooks and is finally caught
with bent pin.
The ambition of youth looks forward To
the irinmphs of age, while stated age turns
back n wistful eye along the rosy path Of
youth.
II Is well the book Of life Is opened Ia
us page by page. Were all the hard lines
lnrc,l Mt once the task would bc too hard
to master.
Not only should caiclcss statements re-.
garding our neighhors be ignored. but
facts themselves should bc often subducd
in the interest of right thinking and fair
ness To our fellows. .-Arkansaw Traveller.
