A CORRECTION

In an editorial statement yesterday in
The Intclligenccr. referring to the city
bonding capacity. 1t was stated that the
margin Of bonding capacity at this time
was 100000. This was typosraph-
tcal error. which was apparent to a caro-
full reader. The city's present bonding
capacity is ss.6oo,ooO. 1t. has some $780,
900 bonds outstanding. and thur the city
has a bonding margin Of $500. 900. In
stead Of s1.eOo.ooO. as was stated. The
point made in the editorial was that the
proposed filtration plant and other i'm
provements would cost over 100000;
probably two and quarter million dol
lars. and that very little margin Of
bonding capacity would be left to the
city for a number OF years to come. Tn
der these conditions. or until a consid-
cradle quantity Of the bonds have been
paid OF. it would be practically impos-
sible to undertake. a comprehensive pro-
gram Of street improvement.
