The Bonded Indebtedness of the City of
Pensacola, and the Interest Charges.

In another column will be found statement issued
by the three city commissioners in which is shown what
appears be the bonded Indebtedness of the city Pena
cola and the annual interest charges thereon, we'll
the total paid out interest since 1910
The Journal has quarrel with the city commission
and attributes them nothing but the best Of motives
in issuing the statement but it appears be somewhat
misleading and likely cause confusion the part of
those considering the bonded Indebtedness of Pensacola
Ii would appear from the statement BY the commits
sioners that for period of six years including 1918, the
city had paid interest charges its bonded debt
lie OF $4,000 and that for the year 1915 the interest
charges are S70965O0.
The commissioners in compiling their statement
have incorporated in it the five year per bonds
sued TO paving contractors part payment for paving
work These bonds obligations that arc by
the taxpayers The latter have nothing whatever do
with the interest charges for the bonds we'll interest
must be met by the abutng property and by
tie city a whole.
The statement by the commissioners shows total in
tres charges of the above special improve
ment bonds Of S97 2013 and with the be paid
for 1915 OF S14715OO, will make grand total of SILL,
S35S2 to this

maturing in 1886 and 1871 and S25OOO0 of AZ per cent
refunding bonds The interest the S000O00 issue is
$4,000 annually and the S250000 of reundng bonds
50 making total interest charge of $50 $50 annual
y This represents the for which the taxpayers
whole responsible and for which they assessed
They responsible for any other interest charges
and not assessed for such purposes
q The city commissioners in their statement should
have explained fully this in order that the
people might be correctly informed.
j The Journal thinks the commissioners should now
the 100000 issue of special dock and belt line railroad
bonds The time is opportune for materials be had
for onethrd off their normal price while the bonds
be sold for better figure than any time within the
past five years.
The sale of these bonds will add an interest charge
in about years of $4,000 annually but what Of that
This matter decided by the taxpayers in 1912 when
|tney voted Overwhelmingly for the bond issue
The Journal has desire to hurry the commission
ers but believes the present is the best time Idle
la in Pensacola il must be remembered will
employment when the dock and railroad construction is
commenced and the this work the
these aborers will have money with which pay then
