''THE TOWN OUT OF DEBT. -

1.-THE TOWN OUT OF DEBIT
One of the interesting and signiti-
can't features of the Itasca county
exhibit at the Minnesota state fair
is the display by Akeley township
which announces itself as 'the town
out of debit 1t would be difficult
to imagine more effective claim to
outside recognition. An enterpris-
ing community that is out of debt
merits more than passing attention
and the town of Akeley must be
enterprising or it would not be so
prompt to take advantage of it's op-
portunity to get deserved public
attention. The mere fact of being
out of debt might mean that town.
ship is too conservative, that it is
asleep and not making the progress
that it should. But such is not the
case with the Itasca county. hustlers
who believe in paying as they 90 and
in letting the world know about
it.
The advantage of being a "town
out of debit may be appreciated
better when the situation is applied
to a city, ST. Paul, for example.
Being out of debt means paying only
for such public improvements as the
city can afford at the time, and it
also means paying no interest. St.
Paul is paying this year more than
$4,000 in interest. If the city
were out of debt it could build a
grade school house every month of
the year and have enough left over
for two or three fire stations or
police stations without adding one
cent to the tax budget for this year.
The amount we pay this year for in
terest would be twice as much as
needed for the additions to the park
system for which we have Just gone
into debt.
If ST. Paul were a lefty out of
debit the half a million we spend
each year for interest would enable
us to buy boulevards, parks, public
buildings and other permanent i'm
provements that would put the city
in class by itself in a few years.;
We would have the improvements
and owe nothing for them. Under
the present system of operation we
will pay for the improvements and
still owe for them at the end of a
generation.
