is expected that at the end OF this
rental period, June 80, 1917, there
will be a sufficient number OF these
eovernment-owned machines to re-
place at least half of those under rem

chase of new machines the following
year and practically abolishing the
necessity for renting such machines
thereafter. At the present time the
cost of these rented machines is $780,

Repairing scales returned from the

also produced a considerable economy

tate speculator who does not actually
farm his own land may make use Of

Under the Farm Loan Act farmers

TINS money to purchase a farm, he
must bargain for his land in advance

in bulk thus saving the long and ey-
pensive mail hauls formerly neces-
sary. These third and fourth class
postmasters thus deal directly with
their distributing centers instead OF
writing directly to the department for
every trifing need, and they ordinari-
ly receive their supplies within twen-
ty-four hours, whereas by the old
method, days and weeks were often
necessary Another advantage Of this
system is the supervision which these
distributing offices can exercise over
the character and amount of supplies
to be furnished. Being in close touch,
any tendency to over stocking or
waste, so common by the old method,
is easily checked and prevented. Dis
tributing Offices have taken on their
added duties without increased force,
and reports from the service gener-
ally indicate that the local supply
points are both popular and practi-
cable.
The inauguration of the new system
has lessened the clerical force former
ly required and may be expected to
produce still further economies in
that direction. The orderly and sys-
tematic method by which the stock

WATER WORKS BOND
EDITOR Herald and News.

rdltOr Herald ana News.
The city of NeWberry for the pur-
pose of in stalling an electric light
plant and system of water works III
the year 1896, issued S42,000.00 of s
per cent forty year bonds, maturing
in 1886. To insure the sale OF these
bonds clause was inserted in the
face of the bond pledging the city
council to pay to the commissioners
OF public works every year the sum
of $1050.00 to be invested in sink
ing fund for the redemption of said
bonds. But upon the expectation thac
this yearly payment OF Sl05O.00 with
the annual interest upon same would
in forty years amount to sum large
ly in excess Of 100000, there was
added to the face of the bonds another
clause giving to the commissioners
of public works the option of redeem
ing any one or all OF these bonds at
the expiration of twenty years. For
at the twenty year period it was cal
culated that the sinking fund would
amount to more than $30,0O0.00.
With this $30,00O.00 on hand, then
an issue of $12,000.00 new bonds for
a ten year period at lower rate of
interest, should enable the commits
sioners to retire the whole issue of
$4200O.0O 6 per cent. bonds, and with
a continuation of the same sinking
fund trrangement, this new issue Of
$12,00000 could be easily retired at
the expiration of ten years. So that
with the expiration of a thirty year
period, the whole debt of s4Z,000.OO
would be wiped out in thirty years, and
the city would own her electric light
plant and water works free of all en-
cumbrances.
And the most important financial
matter for the taxpayers considera-
ton at this time is the utilization of
this twenty year clause by the COM
missioners of public works in the re-
deeming of this issue of forty. year
$42, 100000 bonds, one reason for which
is that the wiping out of $30,000.OO
of the city's Indebtedness would be
of great advantage in more ways than
one in improving her financial rat
ing.
And another is that if this option
is not taken advantage or the city
may not be able to make any settle
ment with the bondholder before the
expiration of the forty years, the life
of the bonds, for with this sinking
und security there it not a better 6
per cent bond on the market and no
holder of bond will be yilling to
give up his bond except at its full
value. In five years from this time.
is there is no use made OF this option,
the sinking fund will have accummu-
lated a sufficient sum to retire che
whole $42,OO0.0O, and should the city
be forced to continue the present plan
until the expiration Of the forty years,
the sinking fund will have accumulat-
ed sum of approximately one hun
ured thousand dollars. The most care
lul investment and management OF
this sum by the commissioners OF pub
lie works will entail upon the city a
less of several hundred dollars an
nually, as they will be paying per
cent interest and making investmen:
at per cent or per cent, which Is
not a pleasant outlook for the
Taxpayer.
