AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Plans Proceeding for Submitting PROPOSE
tion TO Increase Bonded Deb.
DIRTY THOUSAND PAID FOR INTEREST
~ New Matter Goes Through Amount
of Interest VIII Go Considerably
Beyond Fifty Thou-
sand Dollars.

Preparations are going ahead for sub
hitting 70 the voters at the coming cleo
ton the proposition TO increase the bonded
debt Of the city by s2500OO for sewers Al
ready the bonded general debt is S72s1ss
to which must be added S5s o99 special
bonded debt. With the addition Of 81. 900
In bonds for the Twenty-fourth street paw
ing and 1900 district Improvement bonds
and s. 900 more intersection bonds the total
bonded debt will be 1867 2S7. To add $50 goo
on top Of this viii make the bonded debt
OF the municipality H117.2S7.
At present a little over $4,000 is paid
annually on interest on outstanding obli-
cations. The interest at ~ per cent on the
$4,000 sewer bonds would amount to 81 go
q year. This would be causing the city to
pay considerably more than 10000 a year
in interest alone. The sewer bonds are 70
run twenty years. with the usual Ave years
ontion. Providing the sewer bonds were
not redeemed in twenty years the city
would pay during this period the enormous
sum OF $4,000 interest on the S25O,OO0 sewer
bonds
When the proposition to vote sewer bonds
is submitted to the people, property owners
will more than likely look into this matter
OF bonded Indebtedness and interest thor
oughly. Some Of those interested assert
that such a large issue Of bonds should be
sold at not less than per cent interest.
II this could be done the interest could be
reducted considerably but then the premium
on the bonds would also be reduced.
