WILL ASK WATER BOARD
TO LOOK AFTER BONDS
City Council Trying to Find
Way to Escape Increas-
ing Tax Rate

A communication from City coun-
ell viii probably be presented at the
meeting of the Water Commission on
Monday afternoon, requesting that
body TO take care of the water bonds
and interest upon the same becoming
due i'm the coming fiscal year so that
the tax rate may not be increased.
The Water Commission probably will
refuse to comply with this request as
it is about to begin work on the water
plant for the city and consequently
will need all the money 1t can secure.
it is pointed out that the department,
in previous years, has paid an amount
in surplus to City Council sufficient to
extlnguish the bonds and does not
therefore feel legally liable for them.
If City Council took this money and
used it for other purposes instead of
paying off the bonds, it was no fault
of the Water Commission.
A deficit of about 1000 faces Coun-
ell at the end of this year. The body
has already borrowed 100000 and there
is a possibility that it will be compelled
to pay over to the Board of Education
more than $4,000 due that corporation
a and which was not paid because the
charter Of the board had been allowed
to become defunct.
When the appropriation for the diff
ferent city departments was made last
year the appropriation for the Board
of Education was SlSS 1924, but it was
found that the charter of the board had
been allowed 70 expire and it had nc
legal existence and Council promptly
refused 90 pay over the full amount
and gave the board $40, 47S.S7, which
was the amount received last year. Un-
der the law the board is each year al
lowed a five per cent. increase over
the amount received the previous year
Lawyers believe that Council can be
compelled to turn over the amount Of
money appropriated to the board which
has been used by Council.
