THE CITY's OUTSTANDING NOTES.
Other Matters Connected With
House Drainage.

Other Matters Connected With
House Drainage.
Editor Morning News: Mr.. Mendel, in
his letter this morning, abandons his
statement that this administration had
already issued 100000 worth of notes,
and substitutes the claim that on JAN /,
1898, that amount will be outstanding.
Even with this amendment, he is still
somewhat out in his figures for the amount
of notes to cover opening of streets or
contracted for to be issued before Jan. 1,
1898, is in round figures $1,000 not $4,000,
as state by him, and as of the $4,000
of notes now out S. 900 mature next month
there will be outstanding on Jan. l. $67 900
instead of the 100000 These figures are
correct. AS to my reference to politics
in his first statement 1 gladly withdraw
it under his denial, though 1 have not yet
seen why he SHOULD have confined his
criticism so closely TO the present adj
ministTltion. He now asks If the house
drainage system can be paid for as sug-
gested by me in five years without in
creasng the tax rate, then why not take
five years to complete IL? My answer is,
first, if house drainage is the necessity
all our sanitary advisers tell US, then the
sooner it is put in the better; second, a
contract for the whole work al one time
can be made on a much better basis than
in five sections, taking five years to COM
plete. Then. pray, where Is the advant-
age from the construction by sections? 1t
will not cost the property owners any
less-the same $4,000 per year will come
out of the general fund and the benefit to
be derived from the system simply post
poned for no good purpose that l can see.
/ most positively differ with Mr.. Mendel
as to his 'posterity" ideas. l say that
where 'posterty" is to derive as much
benefit from improvements as the
present generation then pos
terity' should bear it's share
of the cost-though, really, in the present
five-year deferred payments, 1 fear poster
ity will cut very little figure. Now, as to
the other communication appearing this
morning, signed Taxpayer" From it's
tone it appears to be positive proof that
the waters of Carlsbad do not entirely
remove bile from the system. In fact,
from the several communications of Tax

gather these waters intensity the virulence

abused in its use at times. In the present
case the signers seems to be one, who foi'-
