A gentleman told US the other day
that he heard that the present mayor

are not in debt, but it is the first time
in many years that the city has been free
of incumb rance. We have paid in the
past year or so the old debt Que the
Water & Light Co, which has hung
over the city for fully twenty years.
We may not have the best streets and
pavements in the world but yon can tell
the public that we are out of debt and
hope to remain so.
