$550,000 by an issue of bonds, il
order to free the city from thu
necessity of borrowing the money
with which to defray current eX
penses, but it was voted down.
The Council should submit pro
position to the taxpayers to issue
S300,0 900 of bonds to run fifty years
the proceeds to be used in paying
the current expenses of the city
This is the only remedy. Should
the taxpayers refuse to sanction
the proposition, they will assume
all the responsibility for the con-
tinuance of the present state OF
affairs, and release the present adj
ministration from responsibility
Its submission will be a referen'
dunn OF the matter to the people.
Patriotism and good sense die
tated that the proposition should
have been approved at the time
it was submitted by Bryan Cal.
laghan. Had it been approved,
the Paschal administration would
not have found the taxes mort
gagged, and the taxes expended be-
fore they were due.
If similar plan should not be
now adopted, the taxpayers will
leave the city.no alternative ex-
cept to borrow money by pledging
the taxes for its repayment. And
the next city administration will
be in the same predicament that
George Paschal's administration
found itself in.
The present city administration
inherited its present monetary en-
barrassment and will bequeath it
as legacy to its successor, unless
the taxpayers shall vote to issue
100000 in fifty year bonds.
Fifty years hence, San Antonio
has reasonable prospect OF possess
ing population Of 100000 and a
taxable property of .$75,0OO,OO0 so
that these bonds can be easily
paid at their maturity. But, some
will say they are opposed to in
creasing the city debt. But neces-
sity is not only memorable, but it
overrules all other considerations
and maXims.
When it is absolutely necessary
to incur debt in order to rid the
city of a deplorable state Of affairs,
extremely Instantaneous to her,
patriotic citizens will bow to ne
cessity, and vote for the only
remedy, the issue OF 100000 Of
bonds.
These bonds will be paid by pos
terity not by the present generation,
and the increased taxable value Of
city property, fifty years hence,
will Iprevent their payment from
being burthensome to posterity.
Let us suppose that the city
should find it impossible to bOr-
row money on the faith of the taxes,
she will be forced to run an entire
year on the credit system. That
sort of thing could give San Anto-
MO a couple Of very black eyes. 1t
would stop her progress clock.
Taxpayers ought to have patriot
ism enough to vote for a measure
that is essential to the progress
and prosperity Of their city. II tax
payers will consider the matter
cody aud sensibly, they will be
compelled to see and realize that
there is no other remedy except an
issue of bonds.
Contributed Scraps" has writ
ten, without consultation with, or
suggestions from, any member of
the city government, and challeng-
es any person to point out any
other remedy than the one sug.
gested in this column. The city
must be freed from the necessity
OF having to give a lien on the
GaXes to secure a temporary loan OF

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.
Written for the LIGHT.

The mere personal presence OF
Contractor Hindry is a matter OF
moonshine, provided he has COM
petent person here to see the work
executed according to the terms of
. the contract.
The real point in the matter, is
as to whether he has sublet the
contract, or has forfeited his con-
tract, and this is what the Council
should decide as soon as possible.
The matter is not understood by
the people.
If Mr.. Hindry has sublet the
contract, ought the Council to rat
isfy his action? That is another
question for the Council to decide,
and about which there is hardly
any diversity of opinion among
the people.
The majority of the people are
of opinion that the Council should
refuse to ratify the subletting, and
save the city the profit Mr.. Hindry
was to receive from the subcOn-
tractor. AS matter OF course, the
subletting Is void without the city
;atities it.
OF all things, the Council should
be careful to keep the construction
of the seweres clear OF all COM
plications and entanglements. 1t
should deal with the contract OF
Mr.. Hindry, on business principles,
remembering all the while, that
the city government is the trust
of the people and that the tax
payers will "pay for the music"
Prompt and straight forward &C
ton on the part OF the Council is
expected, and such action will
certainly be true wisdom. 1t will
evince manliness and nip in the
bud all efforts, open and under
handed, to befoul the construction
OF the sewers.
Has Mr.. Hindry forfeited his
contract? II he has not forfeited
it by his laches, or by failing to
execute sufficient bond, then the
question arises as to whether he
has sublet it, without the consent
of the city? The Council owes it
to itself to act with promptitude,
vet with consideration and circum-
spection, in deciding these two
questions.
The financial embarrassment Of
the city is the Legitimate and I'M
avoidable result of the practice OF
borrowing money, with which to
defray current expenses, and pledg-
ing the taxes for it's repayment.
This system was bequeathed by
the Callaghsn administration to
the Paschal administration.
The Paschal administration in
herited an empty treasury and a
lien on the taxes. The present ad-
ministration was confron ted on the
threshold, with the same deplor-
able state of things. 1t is out Of
money, and the taxes will not be-
come due and collectable till June
This condition of things is clear
-ly- disadvantageous to San Anto-
MO. And the longer it exists the
more hurtful will it be to her fu-
ture prospects. Any other city
would free itself from this embar-
rassment, and it will be folly in
San Antonio not to free herself
from it.
There is only one way of reliev-
Bng the city from the unpleasant
bredicament in which she is now
placed, of having to borrow money
a year before the taxes become
due, in order to meet current ok
s penses.
