TAMPERING WITH OBLIGATED
FUNDS

The people Of Annapolis have
every reason to be gratified at the
prosperity Of the Annapolis
Water Company and especially
at the large surplus something
like $4,000 that has been ac-
cumulatcd in its emergency funfl
from the Company's own earn
ings.
All through the constant bag

has been INDUCED in in the re-
cent past the fact OF this pros
perity has stood out as an ire
futablc answer To those bent ON
dismantiing the official structure
responsible for it. Various lines
Of attack have from time to time
been rcsortcd to. but the latest
venture goes further than mere
personal or clique advantage or
disadvantage The action of the
City Council at its last meeting

OF this emergency fund to be di-
vertcd from the special purposes
for which it has been set aside
By statute and ordinance strikes
directly at contractual obliga-
tons as we'll as the good faith OF
the city.
The city treasury has never
contributed cent to the pur-
chase OF the water plant, nor to
its upkeep nor Improvement.
while the 100000 issue of bonds
of 1912 for the purpose OF making
the Annapolis Water Company a
