Total interest and sinking fund.

Tax rate TO meet this, cents.
we can have, If we refund, new sewer
system and clear water at tax rate of
6O4 cents on the 500, against tax rate of
81 80 as 1t now exists. With decreasing
tax rate yearly, and with an increase in
population. our income from water sales
and licenses would be sufficient to pay
the greater portion of the expenses of the
city government, and within a very few
years the tax rate would be reduced to q
minimum.
He thought If the matter was properly
handled, with the source of revenue we
now have, in five years the debt could be
PAID and leave q low tax rate for the peo-
pie 10 pay.
Bragg in the chair.l
MR.. TozER's IDEAS.
Tozer said he agreed with the other
speakers IN the main, but while we could
pay OFT the debt in few years at the
present rate of taxation, in the mean
time we are taking the money of Sacra-
mentans that is worth to them at present
from to 10 per cent, when by refunding
the money can be paid eventually at a
rate OF per cent The object of refund
ing is to stop this heavy tax. The only
question Is now much we are willing to
pay for the privilege of stopping it. His
object was TO see not only the debt paid,
Cut sAaL Iuo Clty Ill Tue IneautlIu0
60 on with Its improvements and have
the beneht OF them as 1t went along.
GERBER's REPLY.
Mr.. Gerber said that refunding the debt
was simply putting Off the payment of
the debt. while four or five more pay
ments would wipe out the debt. Mr..
ToZer had spoken of equity in the mat
ter of the bonds. but there was no equity
necessary to be observed with the men
who bought these bonds at small price
and received per cent. on them since.
They have made lot of money out of
us. We should issue these bonds on
terms that suit the city. without consid-
ering whether it suits the bondholders or
not. 1t is unwise to go near them at all.
Ii we refund properly. we will save over
$500, 900 to the city.
Lawton said that it was proposed to
refund on terms that would suit the city
We have the money and they have the
bonds. We therefore have the best of
them. They will soon be glad to come to
terms. He wanted to see the tax rate re-
duced.
Gerber said the tax is not murder
ing the city. 1t has natural advantages
that cannot be taken away from it. There
is nothing that will hurt the bondholders
so much as to build sewers and improve
the city. He wished the board would try
IL Ior year. Inc SZO0,0OO spent in the
city for sewers, ETC., will do more for it
than the refunding can. It will put
money into circulation and make times
better.
Kent moved a vote Of thanks to Messrs.
Gerber and Lindley for the light they had
thrown on the subject and the table of
figures, hitherto so dark and mysterious,
which the former had brought up and
presented to the board.
The motion was carried and the board
adjourned.

Mr.. EDITOR: Though 4 native OF
Europe, I lived fifty years ago for
many years in the states OF New York
and California as q citizen Of the
Cnited States and took my part in
elections up to the time left for the
Hawaiian Islands. Since then have
tried To do my duty TO my new eoun-
Try, also tn the Republic of Hawaii
and 70 its Government have there
fore earned a right TO make the fol-
lowing remarks "a am attached to
both the countries named in mind
and feelings.
In the great rebellion of the Con-
federate States did the United States
hav no losses in men and treasury /?
Who caused the United States the
loss Of more than two thousand mil
lions OF money and the loss Of more
than a million Of men Who assas-
sinated Abraham Lincoln in the very
midst Of his friends and in Washing
ton ? Was the struggle light and
short one or did it rather take years
and hundreds Of battles ? And when
the Confederate States lost their I'M
ItklttrOuS CduNcy Hhdt fNICN
the Government and people Of the
United States Was it the feeling Of
revenge Was their feeling leading
them TO teach the rebels lesson In
blood? Was the arch leader and Pre-
sident Of the Confederate states shot
or hanged on the gaIIows?
That would doubtless have been the
case, If the scene had been in the old
countries OF either Europe, Asia or
Africa. Bot the United States Of
America did not believe in blowing
nnisled citizens from the mouth Of
cannons or in making them ornaments
