THE QUESTION OF BONDS.

SEATTLE, April IL, 1893
10 THE EDITOR: This evening the city coun-
Gil meets for the purpose OF considering the
matter OF bonding the city for million dollars
more or less, with the purpose OF reducing the
rate OF interest on the floating debt from 10 to S
per cent. and also to provide for an immediate
extension OF the sewer system.
In connection with the sewer business, the
committee OF the Chamber Of Commerce has re-
ported resolutions to DO presented to the council
tonlgAt recommending. among other things,
that with the exception of few large mains.
the sewers shall be paid for BY the property
holders of the several streets or districts where
placed. This proposition would be regarded a.
so utterly unjust by large portion OF the peo-
pie that 1t would be Of no use to submit the
bond question to q vote on such a basis. al the
fopuiist leaders are actively spreading their
strange and Impractical theories of
nnance among those who have no
means OF knowing true business prin-
ciples. and will do their utmost to defeat
anything not proposed by themselves There
fore the pay ment for sewers must be fully con-
ndered and agreed upon by those interested,
and it 10 hoped that the conference this evening
between the council and Chamber of Commerce
Will be attended by as many business men a.
possible.
few sections of tho city draining into the
bay have already been provided for aud the ex-
proposed plan be adopted, those thickly settled
and wealthy portions would have the advantage
OF escaping most OF the payment for their bene-
hts and the whole OF the cost for the rest of the
city. The remainder, OF course, would have to
besr just so much more than their just proper.
ton.
Another thing. sewers are often made two to
ten times as expensive a. their own streets re-
quire on account OF connection with other
streets or districts. Again, those who happen to
live within reach OF the large mains would
escape payment altogether These few among
the many objections cause the people In the UNI
provided districts to insist and demand that we
continue to pay at large for all sewer lines. The
property holders already pay for their street
grading and water connections, and must pay

them immediately. If they have not sold
them before they arrive they keep them
standing on the track awaiting a pur-
chaser. Brokers on the Sound often shin

refused by the consignee. Then the seller

ROME, March 17.-A3 bomb was ex-
ploded in the Ancini Mattel palace, the
official residence Of United States Min
lister Porter early this morning Fortu-
nately notody was hurt and but little
damage was done to the building. No
cause is known for the deed.
The building was occupied by two
other families besides that of United
States Minister Potter. AS similar
outrage was perpetrated in the same
building in 1892, and as Potter had only
engaged the building for occupation in
the closing days of that year, it is be-
iieved the fact of the place being inhab-
tied by an American minister had moth
ing to do with the outrage, bat that the
motive for causing the explosion was to
crafty desire for vengeance upon the
proprietor of the place, irrespective of
whether the residents were injured or
not. This was. the motive suspected at
the time of.the first explosion, and there
is no reason to takea different view.
