your committee spending hours N making
calculations and notifications. Your com
inittec, as Il result of such consideration,
believe that at this time the city, follow =
ing the lines laid down by Special ;Acl
countant Carlton mccarthy, should auopt
some we'll defined general plan 10Y y, hand ~
ling tho entire outstanding debt; for
lecouping the sinking fund so as.t to
begin dscharging the debt not later. than
convinced 1 is wise for many reasons.
THE CTTY'S HOPE.
The city's hope for great development
and Improvement Is In being able to have
large sums of money available unually
for improving. beautifying and building y
great city. She cannot hope to do TINS
from her current revenues and must look
forward to bond issues, made possible by
the discharge from tho sinking fund of
the present debt i,s II falls due. being re-
aured to take from her current revenues
only such sum as will provide u sinking
fund 10 meet such issues at maturity.
If this plan is adopted, after the year 1913
there will be an endless chain of large
amounts available annually, and the hn-
nual burden to carry out this plan re-
leasing to the city hundreds of thousands
or dollars. annually. need never be greater
5thanlthat which the city is beuring to-day
OF: account of interest and redemption,
and has borne for the past decade.
ORD NANCE SUGGESTED.
Your committee reports herewith an
ordinance marked a. which provides the
general plan, and is recommended for
your adoption.
Your committee. however. feeling that 1t
might possibly be the desire of the body
not at this time to adjust and settle for
all time the whole debt question, but
simply to take caro- of tho debt falling
due January 1 1904, return herewith ull
ordinance marked "B' which provides
only for n taking caro- of tho mnturltics
Or January !, 1901, without reference to
future maturities.
