San Antonio had much better
pay her debts and transact all OF
her business on a cash basis. The
necessity for this is imperative.
The bonds to secure funds for such
payment should be issued at as low
rate Of interest as they can possib-
ly be tloated at and for as short a
time. All back taxes as fast as
collected should 60 into a sinking
fund for their redemption, as the
debt was incurred through neglect
to collect these taxes. The proper
ty can afterward be taxed an an
nual rate for the retirement of such
bond as are not redeemed by the
back tax fund by the close Of this
century.
