TOMORROW'S ELECTION


The election for the purpose Of
bending the city will take place to-
morrow, and there is one point which
merits the serious consideration Of
the voters OF this city. 1t is the enor-
nous rates Of interests and discounts
being paid upon the present and con-
tracted Indebtedness, the heavy pen
alties that are being paid under the
present system OF carrying on the bus
ness and Improvements OF the city.
Reckoning the present Indebtedness
of the city at $4,000, which, until
paid by refunding, or otherwise, is
drawing interest at ten per cent. per
annum, and add TO this about ten per
cent. discount on the city scrip, and it
will be found that the taxpayers are
paying a penalty Of twenty per cent.
for the cash used in the conduct of the
city affairs, an amount largely in ex-
cess OF the interest that will be paid
on $3.50, 900 worth OF bonds. The pres
ent Indebtedness Of $4,000 means
$4,000 in interest and discounts. The
contractor adds TO the price OF his
work an amount sufficient to meet the
discounts upon the city scrip, and the
above estimate is conservative one.
The city bonds drawing six per cent.
interest will at least find a market
at their face value, though the six
per cent. bonds OF the city OF
Seattle brought 1903 short time ago,
and the finances of this city are In
much better shape. Thus it will be
seen that the larger Indebtedness will
cause a saving in interest OF at least
$1,000 per year, and distribute the
burdens OF the principal sum over a
series OF years, when IL can be more
easily met.
Aside from the question OF economy,
the city has reached the limit to the
present system OF anticipating the
collection of its revenue. IL can 20
no farther in this direction. And yet
the city government must go on. Its
officers and servants must be paid,
necessary running expenses must be
liquidated. 1t would be hard to esti-
mate or realize the disastrous results
that would follow the defeat of the
bonding proposition. A public work,
however necessitous, would stop; city
scrip would be almost worthless; prop
erty would depreciate in value, and
there would be no way out of the
difficulty, except another attempt at
bonding. An emergency exists, and
1t is easily accounted for from natural
causes. Ii was necessary to spend

lot Of money before 1t could be col.
lected. The city has simply reached
the limit of its credit.
~.
Besides the economical arrangement
or the city finances as proposed, there
are other considerations. The careful
expenditure Of the amount to be re-
ceiyed from the sale of the bonds will
confer lasting benefits upon the city
and its Inhabitants. Many needed
improvements may be made, many
persons will be given employment, and
just at this time, these considerations
are all important.
-
We believe that the emergency of
the situation is fully understood; that
the vote tomorrow will be overwhelm-
ingly in favor OF bonding the city, but
it would be greatly to the credit of
Fairhaven if nine-tenths of the votes
were recorded in favor of the PROPOSE
ton. A little reasoning on the part
Of the voters will suffice to show that
that the best interests of the city, as
well as their own, will be best sub
served by rousing majority in favor
Of the bonds. No more important
election will ever be held here. Let
every man do his duty.
