The True Flavor

Georgia knows how to run "the liter
ary business; she has literary style
of her own in this line. A recent adver-
tisement of "a Literary Supper" in g.
rural newspaper reads as follows:
There will be a literary supper for
the benefit of the Literary society on
Wednesday evening next. There will be
high tumbling by an ex-circus perform
er, and Benetto, the travelling italian,
will have his dancing bear on hand.

total outlay for interest three hundred

and ninety-three dollars on principal
sum of six hundred and seventy-eight

The sole benefit to be derived by the
taxpayers for this outlay is in the con-

in a position where it will be obliged to
pay such high price for accommoda-
tion.
Let the county pay its existing In.
debtedness as 1t falls due in the years
between this and 1910 and thus discharge
the obligations which were placed upon
it long ago with the expectation that the
people living now, who were then looked
upon as "posterity," would pay the in
debtedness as it accrued.
There are plenty of lawful ways for
creating a new bonded Indebtedness for
legitimate Improvements to the high
ways and other matters, the cost of
which posterity should help to pay, and
these things will presently be urged up
on the voters with great insistence.
But the great costliness Of the pro-
posed refunding scheme is thoroughly
set forth in the tables given elsewhere,
which we reproduce from The Herald of
the 26th ult. in compliance with numer-
Gus requests for the same:
At the present time the debt of Los
Angeles county is made up of five is
sues or series of bonds, as follows:

Two Questions Answered

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles
Herald-What has become of the law
suit Of Mr.. Spreckels VS.. the San Fran
cisco Examiner? What Is the entire cost
to the state of the Durrant case?
Los Angeles, Dec. 6. G. M. H.
Il. The suit Is still pending. The plain
tiff has been unable thus far to get SER
vice on Mr.. Hearst, the proprietor Of the
Examiner. 2. No official estimate has
been made of the cost to the state of the
Durrant case, SO far as we are aware.)
The herald., 1897-12-08

Total ......................... .S6lS, 800
To refund the above debt it is pro-
posed to issue $6S0.O0O per cent bonds
payable, beginning at the end of five
years. and $4,000 annually till paid or
twenty-four years from date of issue.
1t will be seen that the county has a very
small per cent debt, and of the Az and
per cent debt the bonds have but a few
years to run. To extend the present debt,
which is due and payable in a few years,
to run over a period Of twentyfour
years, Is not in the least sense money
making proposition and 1t is hard to see
on what grounds the proposed refund
ing scheme can be supported.
In the calculations given elsewhere 1t is
assumed that the present debt will be
paid off proportionately each year on
each of the series of bonds now out
standing. In this assumption the inter-
est to be paid on the present debt will
be paid on the bonds as proposed will
amount to s394.2OO, making a loss in in
terest to the county Of the sum of s215,-
S43 To which should be added the cost
of the special election. estimated at $500,
or a sum of s21S,S43, which the county
will be called upon to pay during the
next twenty-four years for the privilege
of refunding. This last amount should
be as much less as the premiums the
bonds may sell for will amount to. This,
however, is too indefinite at this time to
take into consideration.
From the tables published it will be
seen that it is only for a period of seven
years that a very large sum of money
will have to be provided for to reduce
the existing debt proportionately and to
provide for this apparently large sum
it will mean in $1OO tax levy the sum of
s cents on each 500 assessed valuation,
assuming the county's valuation at $780,
000, 900 in round figures.

WEBB ARRESTED

The arrest of Director Webb Of the
board of education upon an indictment
by the grand jury charging him with
extortion, which occurred yesterday af-
ternoon. was not unexpected in the
light of recent occurrences.
While the investigation that is being
conducted by the board of education was
essential to the bringing out of the facts
in the school board scandal, it became
evident some time ago that the ends Of
investigation alone. Criminal proceed
ings were necessary, and the grand
jury was not lacking information and
facts upon which to proceed.
Mr.. Webb has not yet been found
guilty. He will have a fair trial, and
there is no danger that he will be
wrongly punished.
The unfortunate fate of the fire bond
election yesterday was doubtless due to
evitable rejection of the school bond
proposition. Less than two thousand
citizens took the trouble to go to the
polls, 194S votes being cast in the fire
bond and 1912 in the school bond cleo
ton. The school bonds found only Sal
supporters to 1871 opponents, while 1907
citizens voted against the fire bonds and
TAI for. The result of the school cleo
ton may be taken as distinct rebuke
to the majority of the present board Of
education.
