cipal and the interest each year shall
be set aside for that purpose: but, It
provides for separate levy, which
means levy in addition to the sixty
cents on the hundred dollars.
We have recent precedent for this.
It is fresh in the minds of the tax
payers that few yearsago when those
in power got scarce of money, they
made an additional levy under the pro-
visions of some of the loan ordinances
similar to section of the proposed
ordinance. This was done under the
advice of the then City Solicitor.
would advise every one before vot-
ing for the prosed ordinance to read
section 4 of the loan ordinance, which
is herewith appended:
There shall be annually levied by
the Council of the city of Wheeling at
the same time the annual levy Of city
taxes for other purposes is made, I'M
til all the bonds issued under the pro-
visions of this ordinance are paid, a
direct tax upon all the real estate and
personal property assessed by said city
for taxation, which direct tax shall be
levied as a separate tax, and in addi-
ton to all other taxes that may be
levied for the benefit of the city, and
which shall be sufficient to produce
each year until and including the year
1884, sum sufficient to redeem one
thirty-fourth of all the bonds issued
hereunder, and in addition thereto, a
sum sufficient to pay a years interest
upon all of said bonds sold and unre-
deemed at the time such levy is made.
The said tax shall be collected in such
manner as is or may be provided by
law or ordinances of said city, for the
collection of other taxes on real estate
and personal property. The collector
of the city shall pay to the city re-
ceiver on each second Friday the total
amount of the taxes levied and assess
ed in pursuance of the requirements
of this ordinance which shall have
heretofore been collected by him and
not been heretofore paid to said re-
ceiver by him. The said tax shall be,
by the collector, while in his possess
sion, and by the receiver, to whom the
same is paid, kept and accounted flor
separate from all other moneys of the
city,"

Mayor Sweeney and the Ordinance.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Have you noticed that the
only Democrat actively supporting the
refunding scheme is Mayor Sweeney,
who is kinsman of John B. Garden,
the manager of the Wheeling Elec-
trical Company's plant? Have you
noticed that James K. Hall. who is the
head of the Consumers Electric Light
Company, and has great influence with
the Republican party as well as with
the Intelligencer, is also one of the
advocates of the refunding scheme?
Have you noticed that none of those
interested in the electric lighting BUSH
ness are opposed to the refunding
scheme? Can't blind man see that
that part of the refunding scheme is a
scheme of the electric light people to
sell out to the city? | write this card
for the purpose of calling the attention
of the voters to the fact that the peo-
pie who are most interested in the
electric light plant are most active in
the effort to put through the refunding
scheme, and they, by the aid of Coun-
Gil, which they control unload at their
own price their old plant. Voters are
advised their eyes are opened. De-
feat the refunding scheme and You
defeat the scheme of the electric light
people, who undoubtedly want to sell
to the city.

niversary of their organization at the
Pythian Castle last evening by giving
a musical and literary entertainment.
Many of the members and their friends
attended and were cordially received
by those in charge. After the enter
tainment exercises, elegant refresh
ments were served and all spent de-
lightful social time. In every particu-
lar the event was a pronounced sue
cess, and much credit is due the COM
mittee.

Fine Pickfngs.

To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir:-The writer is advised that a
Pittsburg bond broker has offered s15.-
900 if he can get hold of the bond issue
in case the refunding scheme goes
through; if this is true, how much
money can be made by those who will
have control of the matter of negotiat-
ing the bond, in case the refunding
scheme goes through? How much will
the commissioners of the loan make
out of it? The writer's answer would
be, thousands of dollars, if the voters
are foolish enough to adopt the ordi-
nance; nothing If they are wise enough
to defeat it to-day at the polls.

RILEY'S VIEWS.
lie Tells the True Inwardness of the
Loan Ordnance - Voters Should
Read Before Voting.


Read Before Voting.
1t is claimed by those who favor the
ratification of the loan ordinance that
the adoption of the ordinance will re-
duce taxation. This proposition falls
OF it's own weight. First, who ever
heard of an increase Of Indebtedness
reducing taxation. Second, the ordi-
nance in itself provides. as will be
seen by the reading of section 4, that
separate levy is to be made for the
payment of those bonds and interest,
which money when collected shall be
kept separate from all other moneys of
the city. That means this, that the
city has the power under its charter to
levy for general purposes fifty cents on
the hundred dollars, and for paving
new streets, etc., ten cents on the hum
dred dollars, making in all sixty cents
on the hundred dollars. Now, in ad-
dition to the levy of sixty cents on the
hundred dollars, this ordinance author
ICES an additional levy sufficient to pay
the interest and fifteen thousand dol
lars on the principal each year for
thirty -four years. The proposed ordi-
nance does not provide that out of the
money raised by the sixty cent levy, so
much thereof as is necessary to pay
fifteen thousand dollars Of the prin-

The Catholic High School Cadets to
the number of 235 boys were ready and
eager to brave the elements Thursday

concluded that it would be the height
of folly and imprudence to allow
youths of their tender age to parade
under such unfavorable circumstances.

An Excellent Production.

There was a large and very appre-
ciative audience in the Carroll Club
Auditorium last night to witness the
production of the romantic Irish drama
"The Ivy Leaf" 1t was given under
the auspices of the ladies auxiliary OF
the knights of st. John, and was sue
cessful from a financial as well as an
artistic standpoint. The play was
splendidly cast, the characters being
sustained in such a uniformly excel
lent manner as to render individual
mention unnecessary.

PERTINENT QUERIES
Concerning the Refundfng Ordf-
nance-WhO stopped the Sinking
Fund.-Who Will Get the Interest
on the Proposed Sinking Fund.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-The compromise loan ordi-
nance, passed by Council November
9th, 1860, provided for sinking fund
in almost the same terms that the re-
funding ordinance of 1900 provides for
one. The provisions of the ordinace
of 1860 were lived up to till 1894,
when we stopped paying on our COM
promise loan as the following will
show. The ordinace said that these
bonds should be redeemed as follows:
per cent per annum for five years,
1S61-1866; per cent per annum, for
ten years, 1S66-1S76; 21a per cent per
annum for ten years, 1876-1886; 3 per
cent per annum for ten years, in 1886
1896; 4 per cent per annum for five
five years, in 1S961901.
Up to the time the payment of these
bonds was stopped, 1894, the ordinance
provided that "a per cent of the issue
should be redeemed.
The whole amount of this issue was s327. 900
14qo of this amount is................ al $50
The balance then due would BEES 5000
But it is even better than this. as
the city's books show January list 1894,
balance compromise loan, $50, 600; also
January 1st 1900, balance $4,000;
which shows nothing has been paid.
Who stopped this sinking fund in 1894?
What reason have we to believe that
the new sinking fund will not be treat
ed the same way?
The refunding ordinance of 1900 pro-
vides a sinking fund of $4,000 annu-
ally for the first ten years. 1t fails
to provide where the interest on this
sinking fund would go as our other
loan ordinaces do. By this the city
loses, at least, the following amounts
and some one will get it.
