Reduce Interest Expense by
Issuing Bonds.
! Tuesday. June %, is the date set for
| holding the special election when the bond
| proposition will be submitted to the voters.
Street talk has It that the high school bonds
and the overlap bonds will most likely
carry. Objections seem to be raised against
the voting of the sewer and city hall bonds.
Those familiar with city hall affairs assert
that by all means the overlap bonds should
be voted, as by taking up this overlap.
which has been growing for ten years. those
holding claims against the city will be
| paid and the interest on this outstanding
Indebtedness will be decreased. At the
present time the overlap amounts to $4,000
| Should these bonds fail to carry the old
| claims will either be paid out of the 1908
levy or else carried along at the same rate
Of interest now being paid. Should 1t be
deemed advisable to wipe out the debt this
year quite an increase in the levy will be
made.
Those familiar with city finances assert
that the best way out of the dif1culty is to
| vote the bonds and thus give the munich
palty plenty OF time in which to secure the
money to meet the obligations. These
bonds, IL issued are to be payable in from
one to twenty years and will draw per
cent interest, or less, II bidders can be OBJ
tained. AS the security is considered ex-
cellent It is figured that the bonds will
bring a premium. At the present time the
general bonded debt of the city is $3O7, 900
and the addition of 1000 will make total
general Indebtedness of only S77,0OO, which
is not considered high for a city having a
valuation of over $1S,000,OO0.
Arrangements for the holding of the spe-
cial election are about completed. Yes

Many Dirty Alleys.
Nearly all the alleys in the business por-
ton OF the city are in a decidedly filthy
and unhealthy condition. The attention OF
Mayor Koutsky has been called to this
condition a number OF times within the
last month. Not long ago the mayor dl.
rected the sanitary inspector to serve no
tees TO clean up. While the notices were
accepted when served, no attention wa'
paid to the order and daily the condition
OF the alleys becomes worse
Formerly the mayor was in a position
to instruct the police to see TO 1t that or
ders to clean up were obeyed under pen.

nothing whatever to do with the police
force. the orders OF the inspector are dis
