Economy Motive.
The bin does not include estimates
for all need, nor are all the estimates
that are included as large as might be
desired. The aim has been to keep
down the bonded indebtedness, to insure
its payment and the economical expen-
diture of loan funds, and to meet the
varying needs and resources Of,the Ter.
ritory and the several counties and city
and county. So little has been done for
some years past in the matter of public
improvements either out of loan funds
or out of general revenues, that much
is required now in order TO meet the
urgent needs of growing country
