Nor il it proposed to borrow any
money to use in construction, but
simply to float the warrants at par,
bearing the legal rate Of iatc,eSt-not
"usurious interest" as obstructionists
allegc-and it is provided that the
cost cannot by any means become a
burden upon the tax-payers OF the
State.
These point. have been stated so
often that it is absurd to suppose that
the Ncws is not better informed on
the subject. or that il is not Deliberate
" misrepresenting the premises upon
which it endeayors to construct an
argument. Suppose the warrants do
bear the legal rate of eight per cent.
per annum, the increase in the mini
mum appraised value of the lands. will
outstrip by many hundred per cent.
the small amount Of interest that will
accrue from the partial expenditure OF

indeed the baleful influence alluded to
