OPPOSITION is
MORE PRONOUNCED
New Castle Residents Think
Commons Trustees CaH
Pay City Debt
snoclnl to lhe nyanlnr journal.

New Castle. Dec. Opposition to
the proposition of Council to create a
$4,000 bonded debt, out of which to
pay $4,000 indebtedness is becoming
more pronounced. so much so that it
is probable the city fathers will aban-
don the idea before the Legislature
meets.
Property holders of the city see no
demand for a loan at this time. II is
true that the city is saddled with a
debt which cannot be satisfied under
the present system Of finances, but
those men who have made a study OF
city finances say that the indebted
ness incurred by electric lighting, and
subsequent bills for the same purpose.
can be paid out Of the $4,000 which the
Trustees of the Commons will keep
from the New Castle Water Works
company hereafter The trustees are
bound 20 pay 10 the schools several
thousand dollars annually. but mas
much as the Water Works Company
has absorbed this money for twenty
years, the trustees could not pay It,
This may seem to be violation of the
deeds ceding to the trustees the
commons forms for the use Of the
schools. but the trustees have never
had sufficient money to make any con
tribution to the school fund, and so the
matter remains. However. residents
see an era Of prosperity ahead, and
when the trustees are able to make a
settlement with Council for the use OF
the schools which will be within six
months, Council will have at least
$4,000 annually to meet the city's rum
ming expenses. It is the opinion OF
these residents. therefore. that to bond
the city in the sum of $4,000 nd &C
pay ont annually the necessary $4,000
interest, Is folly, inasmuch as the city
cannot raise money for legtamate ex-
penses, excluding interest.
