TOTAL DEBT IS s17s,sss
Have Accumulated $sa,l93 in
Sinking Fund So That $6o,-
900 Worth of Water
Bonds Can Be
Reduced.

submitted to the outgoing city
council next Monday night will
show that the condition of the
finances of Florence are in excel
lent shape and that with two or
four years of such inanciering, the
oity would be almost out of dobt.
When the outgoing council took
their seats four years ago, there
was deficit of $271, 900 and that
great sum has been out to SITS, ,699'
making saving to the city of
about $98,0O0 This is a romark-
able record as compared with
the records of some of the proceed.
ing councils and proves that the
present board has adhered closely
to business lines and saved every
dollar that was possible during
their administration.
Four years ago the town was
paying interest on it's debt to the
amount of $l6,26O per annum and
this has been shaved to the .$l0,-
400 or thereabouts each year. All
city paper is drawing interest at
the rate of six per cent per year
and with the burden of indebted.
ness, the interest alone each year
is a small fortune.
In addition to this, the city
council has saved $32,1 in the
last two years as a sinking fund.
This fund was created two years
ago for the purpose. of saving
money to pay up some of the out
standing bonds on the city water
works. The bonded indebtedness
at this time on the water plant is
$l35,000, but by 1909 there will
be enough money on hand to re-
deem $4,000 worth of the bonds,
leaving a debt of $4,000 to be
taken care of later. When the
bonds we're underwritten at the
time the sale was made, the pro-
vision was inserted that a part Of
the bonds could be cancelled by
redemption in 1909, which is two
years from now, and that all of
them could be paid by 1914, which
is five years more. The waterfund
will be free from warrant in
debtedness next August, or when
the next water collection is made,
and then the money that is now
applied to the redemption of water
fund warrants can be used in
clearing up the general fund in
debtedness or to assist in redeem
ing the remaining unredeemed
water bonds. This is a matter
that will be left to the incoming
city council.
The revenue from tho water
works is something like $4,000
per year. This will send the gen.
eral fund debt a glimmering in a
short time. The $l3,5OO sinking
fund is derived from direct taxa
ton and may or may not be con.
tinued after 1909. II it is disoon.
tinued and the water bond debt
refunded. taxes could be mater
tally reduced in the next few
years. The city council has bee n
considering the advisability Of
refunding the water bonds for q
period Of twenty years, giving the
taxpayers chance to breathe free
and easy for q while.

When on last Monday morning we were notified by
our reserve agents in Kansas City, st. Louis. Chicago
and New York that no more currency could be sent us
until the panic in New York had subsidized. we were
obliged to follow their plan and suspend business. in
order to maintain local stability and protect our Gus
toners. The business men Immediately avertCd what
might otherwise have become a serious situation by am
nouncing their willingness to accept checks upon Guthrie
banks for all accounts and merchandise.
Their splendid action has made it possible for business
to continue in normal conditions. They met a disagreeable
situation with courage and good Judgment, and reduced
to a minimum the discomfort i'm business caused by the
unexpected tying mp of currency.
The outlook for a bettering Of conditions grows
brighter each DIV. The most propitous aspect of the
entire situation is the concerted action on the part OF the
financial institutions of the entire country showing that
