aside to pay interest on the bonds that
are pledged for the payment OF the
Antero reservoir and Highline ditch.
This makes total of S555,000 This
sum must be raised either by general
taxation or the imposition OF special
licenses. Or else the expenses OF the
various departments for the year must
be reduced like amount. The signifi.
canoe of this is pointed out by the
fact that if the money is raised by
general taxation a man who pays
taxes will probably find his assess
ment increased by % per cent over
