SEWER SYSTEM BoNDs--How REDEEMABLE.


To correct erroneous oppression which seems to be
entertained by taxpayers respecting the ultimate
of the proposed system, the purpose OF this article
will be review the chief features of the proposition empha
sizing the provisions bearing the and redemption
of bonds
Either through failure the part Of certain property
inform themselves the subject because of
their personal interests being held importance paramount
the welfare of the general public and possibly causing
them to disseminate impressions untavorabe TO the enter
prise has been made appear that if the bond holders
elect the redemption said bonds could be refused until the
expiration 80 years which the original cost OF the pro-
ec would be augmented by the interest the whole for
the full perod, 50 years.
Apparently it is assumed that absence of any specific
provision relating the retirement of the bonds before the
thirty years expire would deprive the city of the privage Of
paying all part of them prior their full maturity.
To the steps taken thus far IN the
for system may be stated that the first
action Of the city council get approximation OF the
This furnished by expert examination OF the
proposed work. and while $4,000 generally believed to be
in of the that will be required for the purpose
it was deemed best by the council issue bonds for
that would leave surplus of cost rather than risk
the contingency of another election later the amount of
the bond issue fell short of being sufficient.
The next step bv council submit the question
for the approval rejection by the people at an eeton to
be held Friday JAM and this brings the matter up to its
present stage.
If as is hoped and expected the people by their votes
decide to have system that will meet the city pre-
and future needs the council will Immediately submit
specifications for bids and award the work the lowest
sponsble bidder furthermore when the actual cost shall
have been determined by the lowest bid submitted and the
question of how payments to be made decided, the
amount bond issue shall be fixed at that for
any greater amount.
The determining on how and when the bonds to
be paid still the hands of the council and will be decided
Immediately after election if the carries. Whether
the payments will be annually five ten periods
or longer is wholly discretionary with the council
If for example, decided by the council to retire the
bonds thirty equal annual nstaments right do
unquesoned and the purchasers of the bonds will be bound
by that condition the city itself through its represent
atives who will prescribe the time and of payments
the purchasers of the bonds.
