cAY,rAeys TAX IEvrs

IDes Moines Register and Leader.1
Before we dismiss the experience OF
Canadian cities in dealing with city
finances It is well to get a thorough
understanding Of what they are doing.
The city Of Calgary does not use its
ordinary revenues derived from taxa
ton for much besides paying salaries.
incidental expenses and interest. All
improvements, even of small cost are
paid in bonds Recently a street grader
was bought at cost OF $4,000. It was
paid for in ten-year bonds.
The city sells It's bonds at ~ per
cent. 1t levies tax to retire each year
proportionate share Of the bonds and
to pay interest. This money IS put into
sinking fund which IL loaned out
| thru a banking corporation at 6 per
cent interest. Some $500 will thus at
the end OF twenty years pay a debt Of
$1,000.
To insure aga inst extravagant ad-
mini.tration and needless public I'm
p-over1ent no considerable undertaking
can BIS begun without q vote of the
people.
| To make a practical application to
the local situation, Calgary could have
| built both the Locust ana Walnut street
| bridges by setting aside $1,000 . yea,
| in sfnking fund and paying at the
| rate Of ~ per cent on 100000. By
