AS TO REFUNDING THE CITY DEBT.

The scheme to refund the city debt
Is not a scheme in the interest of the
taxpayers. That fact is easily demon
strated. The scheme would give the
City Hall ring more money to spend;
but it would entail heavy and long
lasting burden upon the taxpayers.
The debt to be refunded is $685.
O00 At the proposed four per cent.
rate this would mean an an
nual interest charge upon the
people of $4,000, or 100000 for
the ten years before the bonds are re-
deemable, or in other words, forty per
cent. of the whole loan must be paid
before a bond is redeemable. The
bonds will be redeemable from 1906
to 1881, and during that period the in
terest charge would amount to about
S256,00 more, making total interest
charge of $4,000 on a total debt of
S525,0O or a sum total of 1897 900, or
nearly a million dollars. to redeem a
little over half a million dollar debt,
and this does not include the heavy
expenses for printing, compensation
20 CT Off
The taxpayers should pause and
think over this proposition a moment.
Are they willing to pay nearly double
their debt in order that the City Hall
ring may spend annually in reckless
extravagance the sum that is now
beng paid on the principal of that
debt?
Under the present common sense ar
rangement the principal Of our city
debt is being paid off at the rate of
$4,000 per year, and in a very few
years, at the present rate of progress,
this debt will be so reduced as to be
come no burden on the people.
Would it not be better to continue
this arrangement? Would it not be a
more sensible plan to run the City
Government on economical principles
for, say, five years, and thus reduce
the debt as we have been reducing it
than to make new loan of $525, 1000 in
order to pay which it will cost the
taxpayers of the city $4,000?
The Register presents these plain
facts for the consideration of the in
telligent people Of this city, and it be-
lieves that they will agree that the
proposed loan ordinance should b.
overwhelmingly defeated.

TIE REMINDING SCHEME

The people of Wheeling are not
ready to have their present city debt
of $525,00O, the principal of which is
now being paid off and reduced at the
rate Of 100000 annually, stretched
over perOd of years, during which
they would hare to pay about a mil.
lion of dollars to redeem it.
But while that is the main and
worse feature of the refunding propo-
sition, it is not the only bad one. For
example, the proposed rate of interest
is four per cent, when every intelli-
gent financier knows that three per
cent, or, at most, three and one-half
per cent, bonds would be snapped up
with avidity.
Again, why was there not a provis-
ion for the exchange of old bonds for
new, in order that these bonds might
be kept here where they would pay a
county tax, and the interest money on
them be spent at home?
Again, the exemption from payment
on the city debt under the proposed
refunding ordinance would not result
in decreasing our rate Of taxation.
1t would simply allow the thirty thou
sand dollars, which is now being paid
annually toward reducing the princi-
pal of the debt, to be spent in other
ways, and would simply be an incen-
tive to further extravaganza in city
affairs and ultimately would result in
increased taxation. And of these
things we have had a sufficiency under
the DrpSpnt regime.

The city debt is now baiLg paid off
at the rate of $4,000 year, and in
short time will cease to burden the
people. Defeat the refunding ordi-
nance, which proposes to spread this
burden over a period of thirty years,
causing the people to pay the debt
over twice.

Judging from the performance OF little

equally as good on a small indoor track
as he is on large one outdoors. The

bursts Of speed, the marvellous manner iii
which he made the short turns and the

for Atlanta, Ga, where he will continue
to train for his twenty-five mile paced

scheduled to take place in Madison
