100000


From this is to be subtracted $500
a year for operating expenses, leaving
the net revenue derived to be applied
to the payment of interest on bonds,
$4,000. This would not be enough
to pay the total annual interest of 81
10000, but it must be remembered that
property owners would save 25 per
cent reduction on their insurance
rates, by the increased security afford
ed against fire, which in the aggregate
will amount to fully s3,5OO.00 per an
mum, and it must be further remember
ed, that the proposed improvements
would greatly enhance the value of all
realty in the city and increase the to.
tai valuation several hundred thous-
and dollars; so that it is more than
likely that the present rate of taxation
would very soon raise an amount suf-
ficient to pay the interest on bonds
and at the same time lay by some
thing annually as sinking fund.
By the city's wiring and piping resi-
dences, etc, though this has not been
definitely decided upon, it is calculat
ed that greater number of citizens
will become patrons, and the charge
for lights and water will be in the
nature of rental on the city's invest
ment.
A representative of the insurance
companies is expected in Brookhaven
today to make the conditional pledges
of reduction in insurance, and it is I'M
derstood that if it becomes necessary
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen will
hold call meeting and postpone the
election until satisfactory assurances
in this regard are given to property
holders. This is a point that cannot
be too we'll guarded However, if lib
eral discounts on present insurance
rates are assured, THE LEADER hope,
the vote next Tuesday in favor of the
progressive step proposed by our City
Fathers will be practically unanimous
as it doubtless will.

lie cost, and sl,5O0.O0 additional for
printing, engineers salary, etc.-mak-
ing the total cost of the improvements
