He brought to the discharge of
the duties of his high Office a
warm heart, a clear logical mind,
an accurate and extensive knowl-
edge of the law, and a character
for uprightness and impartiality
which the breath of suspicion or

those qualities we have called at

faithful and invincible devotion

SUIT AGAINST THE CITY.
George Parker Brings Suit for In
terest on $l7,500 Of the 0ity'a
Water Bonds, The Inevi-
table Has Befallen the
TAXPAYERS.

George Parker, through his
attorney, Jas. G. Fitch, has
brought suit against the city OF
Socorro for interest on $17, 500 of
the city's water bonds, evidenced
by coupons due April l, 1900, Oc-
tober l, 1900, and April 1, 1901,
also for interest on the coupons
from the time they fell due.
This means simply that no inter
est has been paid on the city's
water bonds for 1S months, and
that the holders of those bonds
are now beginning to take steps
to enforce their contract with
the city.
April /, 1887, the city ofS1SJr-
TO issued $50, 900 in bonds to pay
for the construction of her present
water works. The bonds were to
run 80 years. On issuing the
bonds, the city promised that a
sinking fund should be deposited
in the First National Bank of New
York as follows: $500 per annum
from the date of the bonds to
April 1, 1892; $500 per annum
from April l, 1892, to April /,
1897; $1,000 per annum from
April 1, 1897, to April l, 1907;
and 81, $50 per annum for the
remaining 10 years that the bonds
had to run. According to this
contract sinking fund of $40, 500
should now be on deposit in New
York for the redemption of the
city's water bonds to that amount.
The property owners of Socorro
have annually,suffered a heavy
tax to provide funds for this very
sinking fund. What has become
of the money?-that's the ques-
tion. 1t is freely charged that
some of this sinking fund has
been raised and appropriated to
other purposes in direct violation
of law and the guarantee of the
city. An investigation is in
order.
The showing made by the
present city authorities indicates
that there should be no difficulty
in the city's complying with the
terms of its contract on these
bonds. The assessed valuation of
the city is not far from 5000, 600
and the rate for water purposes
is 6 mills, giving a revenue of
81, 200 per annum. The collec-
tor reported $500 collected in
water rates for the month of May.
Conceding that this was excep-
tional and that even $1,000 a
year is all that could be collected
in that manner, it will be seer
that there should be a fund of al
least SO, 900 per annum to pay the
interest and to provide the sink.
ing fund on $50, 900 of 6 per cent
bonds. The problem does not
appear to be a difficult one.
