Bond Burdens.

money!. He never has any of his own,
hut he always has on tap an immense
wealth of notions. just ahead is the
bonanza. A loan will fix ii, and every
body will live happily ever after. Some
cities are like that. They go ahead
with OUTLAWS which bury postefity I'M
sier debt and weight themselves down
with interest and sinking fuho pay
r,ents. A western exchange gives the
following concerning bond-peroea'eo
cities. In it is a moral:
The City of Milwaukee has issued
50 many bonds that it now takes VI
100000 year TO pay interest ana pro-
vide a sinking fund. IL recent years,
Milwaukee has issued on an average
$1,000, 600 a year in bonds. Interest ana
Sinking fund payments, there nave
reached the point where they are
greater than the average amount Dor
rowed annually. By the time bonus
are laid oft the people pay ABOUT
twice as much as they borrowed, inter-
est being about as great as the prin-
cipal by the end of twenty years.
It's n losing proposition for Milwau-
kee. The taxpayers are assessed great
sums to pay interest and create
sinking fund. but the city goes on Is
yuing bonds, the result being mat the
burden is not decreased
1t is customary to argue In pehai Oh
bonds that posterity will reap some OF
the benefits of an Improvement ana
hence that posterity should share the
burdens This is true of some I'M
provrments, but we should remember.
that nosterity will have its own I'M
,,rovements to make. There VIII be
new demands We should get over the
idea that posteritys needs viii be the
Same as ours.
Ii would be fine thing to pay as
we. go. That can't always be done,
and there are times when borrowing
is amply Justified The trouble with
us is that we have got into the habit
of borrowing right and left every tifhe
we get notion that an Improvement
lis needed We are FESTIVE and viii not
wait few years until the amount re-
uuired could be raised by tax levies.
We NOW hear proposals Of bono issues
fer iV,u ovemepts that will not last
NOR, than ten or fifteen years.
i very good example of the bona
burden in Tacoma is the bridging the
city waterway Last year the ola
bridge WAS torn down to give place 10
q new We have never paid off the
bonds issued to raise money for the
old bridge, yet now we have the bonds
for the new bridge, in addition to the
bonds for the old. A few weeks ago
the old bridge bonds were refunded
and we continue to pay interest on
them, though we are getting no adVan-
tage whatever of the improvement they
provided.
In Massachusetts improvements are
row classified in keeping with their es-
timated life. Serial bonds are Issued,
so many being paid off each year. THIS

so loads of the stone used in the old
foundation in addition to some of the

Outstanding had been arrived at with
the city officials by which the stone
was to be stored on nearby lot and
used in the regarding.
Complaint also was made as to the
furnishing of additional stone, which,
it was reported, must be hauled from
the city quarry.
A resolution calling upon the city
to have delivered all the material
necessary for the repaving of White
hail street and cross streets afteCted
by the regarding was adopted.
