mates that in order to pay off the pro-
posed $S50OOO of road bonds it will
be necessary for the taxpayers to pay
$S5O,OOO of interest, making total Of
81, 100000 He seems to overlook the
fact that the aceruing sinking fund is
to be invested, and not lie idle in the
vaults to await the maturity of the
bonds If figured to yield 8 per cent
the sinking fund will raise approximate
ly 100000, leaving the total of prin-
cipal and interest to be paid by the
taxpayers of $1,41O,OOO instead of ST.
