tity's Proposed Bond Issue


wv HEN the financial skies have cleared Il
w little more. Il bond issue for municipal
improvements. that are indeed urgently
needed might be an excellent thing. but ii is
10 be hoped the city will not authorize. as
appears To he proposed. blanket issue of
thirty year bonds covering dozen or more
unrelated and widely differing projects
That sort of financing nowadays is condemned
by every accredited authority.
The projects ndorscd by the Adminstra-
tive Board differ not only in degree OF public
need. but in the probable life of the improve
ments To he made. Nothing is better settled
than that the maturity of municipal obliga-
lions should be so fixed as To come within
this period OF probable life
The most conservative law on this subject
fixes the maximum duration of bonds for
sewers at thirty years: lands for parks. thirty
years: schoolhouses, twenty years; streets
and sidewalks, ten years; extension OF water
mains five years; onlarging gas plant.
twenty years; temporary loans in anticipa-
ton of revenue, one year.
The plans for betterments that are con-
telnpiatcd fall within one another of these
classes. II would be exceedingly ill-advscd
Tor example. to issue thirty-year bonds for
street improvements. when the average eN-
pectancy of life of these improvements is no,
more than fifteen years at the most. Under
such circumstances the people OF Richmond
would still be paying for pavemcnts that had
r0tted away or been replaced long before
Many cities are now turning from the old
stnking-fund plan OF bond redemption and
issuing serial bonds instead. Under this
latter plan certain proportion of the bond
issue is retired every year. Serial bonds are
usually much preferred by investors. aud
there seems TO be 10 question that the carry
ing charges are far less cnerous on the mu-
nicipulity issuing them
