takes on new debt that it may
correspondingly enjoy better facil-
tiles and be better served. 1t is
the same way in private life. If a
man can see where he can better
his condition materially by Dor
rowing few hundreds OF dollars
he does not hesitate to 60 In debt
because the use of the money bor-
rowed will bring him in much
more than the interest he will have
to pay for it. First be reasonably
sure Of the outcome, then go ahead.
Then why should town hesitate
about going into debt for something
it badly needs when there is no
great danger Of losing by the trans
action. No town goes into debt
simply because its credit is good.
1t must first be in great need Of
something and know it is reason
ably safe in going into debt to Sc
cure it. The fear Of debt should
not hold town back from progress
sing. 1t IS better to be conserva
tive than radical but there is such
thing as being too conservative.
We need city water system here
badly. Are we going to wait until
the village treasury. has $4,000 it
can find no use for or will we wait
until some private party puts it in
If we wait for the first we may
wait forever and before the second
takes place the town may be half
destroyed by fire dozen times.
We believe the time is now ripe for
the bonding of this village for mon
ey enough to put in water system
and think every citizen should fig
ure the matter out on this line.
We cannot be too progressive for
our own good and the installation
of water system would be both
beneficial and progressive and
would add an air of permanency to
our town that would prove very
attractive to home seekers and out
side investors.

How many of our readers have
ever considered the difference be-
tween towns in debt and out of
debt. We venture to say that few
have ever looked into the matter
deep enough to understand whore
the difference really lies and what
1t amounts to. Take, for example,
two towns equally we'll situated as
regards trade and let one be III
debt and the other out of debt.
You will generally find the one out
OF debt to be slow and conservative
and with many thoughts before a
single action. Its citizens con-
graduate themselves on being free
from debt and are correspondingly
fearful Of any proposition, no mat
ter Of how much importance it may
be to the town, that will tend to
lead to municipal Indebtedness.
On the other hand the town that
goes into debt is usually up-to-date
and progressive and is ever push
ing itself to the front by fostering
every proposition that will tend to
bring more trade to the town, adj
vance its welfare and protect its in
forests. Why should a town go in
to debt In the first placer The
principal reason for this is that
something is badly needed for pub.
lie and private use or protection at
3 time when the town is not sufii-
GENTLY we'll of to invest in the
same without going in debt.
Therefore the money required to
supply the necessity is secured and
the use Of the necessity more than
offsets the interest on the money
borrowed. And so it goes on. By
the time the first Improvement is
paid for something else comes up
hat Is badly needed and the town
