DC BOND DEBT,
IN FISCAL YEAR

The outstanding bonds OF the Dis
trict government were reduced to
$5,4S1.450 during the last fiscal year,
according to the annual report of the
treasurer of the United States on the
sinking fund and funded debt of the
National Capital.
This shows that the bonds were re-
duced by $9s,250 during the year
ended June 80 last
The amount of bonds still outstand-
ing does not represent the net bond
ed debt, since there are certain as
sets to be deducted. The annual state
ment of the District auditor, now be-
ing prepared. will show the net debt.
The report of the treasurer shows
that the Commissioners have been
asked to include in their estimates
ior the next fiscal year an item of
S9I5.40S for interest and sinking fund
Request also is made for $500 for the
expenses Of the sinking fund Office
