Additional information on Bonds
By John r. Wortham)

BY John r. Wortham)
Road Supervisor John r. Wor-
than finds that his original erplana
tion OF the bridge bond plan has not
been thoroughly understood as to
some details and has made to The
News the following supplementary
statement:
with regard to the matter of a
$4,000, 100000 bond issue for the con
struction OF bridges in Weld county,
| wish to correct an impression that
seems to have gotten out with a
great many residents with whom |
have talked. that this issue would be
sold Immediately and the fund en-
tirely available from date OF sale.
There is no doubt but what this
amount OF money at first glance and
without thought, is considerable
amount. but II all of the bridges In
Weld County were to be constructed
In permanent manner, 1t would re-
quire at least twice that amount of
money, and to do the work in one
year, would use every contractor in
this part OF the country.
Il had figured on a program based
on either five or ten year period.
The amont OF work to be done each
year to be arrived at each year af-
ter careful survey had been made
each season, as to just which bridges
II would be necessary to recon
struct; then to sell the requisite a.
mount OF bonds that year to take
care of the construction.
1T can be readily seen that in the
above manner, the bonds unsold
would Of course not be drawing in
terest, nor would It be necessary to
privide sinking fund to take care
OF their final payment.
From the above views we hope our
readers will get their bearings so
that II the matter comes up the CON-
ming election they will know what
to do.
ing fall II the mattr sshould be sub
mitted at the coming election.
We believe that eitnsr bond, or
a very much increased roaI levy will
have to be made.
In the long run the 'onds would
probably be the more economical.

neither time nor space to go into
these matters now, but 1t is enough
to say that the best remedy is strict
economy and the accumulation of
further savings for further invest

TWO VIEWS Of PRO-
POSED BRIDGE BONDS
{ BY John 7. Jacobs,

An alarming condition exists In
this country. In the face OF rapidly
mounting taxes It is suggested that
we bond this county for FIVE million
dollers and iauch into new expenses
that will add further burdens to our
overloaded taxpayers
In every community there are a
few men who are loud for spending
but the great bulk Of the people are
silent and voiceless. It is to these
silent voters that address myeelf.
In the nation during the last five
years We have seen an orgy of spend
ing such as was never known in the
history Of the world. We are not
done yet though we have incurred
an Indebtedness Of nearly thirty bill
lions of dollars. The state also is
seeking further bond issues and is
spending money faster than ever.
City and school taxes are mounting
rapidly. This condition has largely
brought about the present high cost
Of living and our present Tightening
financial condition and scarcity OF
liquid capital for developing enter
prises. Conditions have gotten so
bad that the National Government
has issued call to the people thru
the Federal Reserve Banks asking
cities. counties and states to cease
further unnecessary improvements
and cease bidding for the small
amount Of liquid capital which is
available for further investment.
The promoters OF this present
bonding plan are wrong In assuming
that we can float these bonds al par
at ~ per cent interest rate. 1t
would be impossible. The bond mar
ket has changed in the past three
weeks and the permier bond OF the
world, to-wit. the Liberty Bond is
now selling at better than per
cent rate. | think am safe In say
ing that to float these bonds at par
would require nearly or quite a Q
per cent interest rate. We might
be able TO do little better than
that but not much.
That means we would saddle this
county with an interest charge alone
Of 100000 year, or more than we
have ever had to spend on bridges
In the past. Ant- tde principal of
the bonds would have to be paid
besides!
! suggest that instead of bonding
we take the money we would spend
on interest and spend 1t on bridges
and by 80 doing we will soon have
our bridges in good shape.
To place SO large sum at the dis
posal Of our present official machin-
cry would be simply to invite enor-
nous waste, fear. 1t brings con-
fusion by rapid letting Of contracts.
lack Of sufficient competition and
general crowding OF construction.
We have often seen these conditions
in the past. Better 60 slow and do
1t more econoically.
There is a further condition. This
Is not the time to launch debts either
for individuals or public municipal
tiles. The times are abnormal. La
Dor and material are very high Avail
able liquid capital is scarce; we
should wait until times become nor
NAL again before we launch into
these things. In the mean time there
should be no more bond issues in

The Other View
(By w A Inainpprl

WI o. .. 'ueous tiCie Ill your
issue OF last week is as able an ap-
peal to the fears and prejudices Of
the taxpayers. as could be expected
from such an accomplished author.
Unfortunately 1t does not solve the
road and bridge problem
Anyone can see that any PROPOSE
tion for raising money for improve
dents will have hard shedding a year
like this, when submitted to the vo-
tiers at the general elections. More
discussion and more writing on the
subject is needed to arrive at clear
understanding OF the problem.
started early In the year to bring
1t before the pubic and in my arti-
Gle, published in The News, sub
mitted the plan OF solving the bridge
problem In order to save the road
problem, by allowing county bonds
to be issued, in such amounts as
permanent construction might re-
quire during the year that such per-
manent bridge constructions were
accomplished.
Therefore 1t is not true that 1t
means to saddle this county with
100000 yearly interest.
Suppose that the most needed
bridge replacement could be con-
tracted for in 1921. or whichever
year. would bring about again rea-
sonable prices and that 100000
were required according to accepta-
BILE bids. Bonds for that amount
would then be issued either to the
contractors or sold in the open mar
ket, and then only when when mar
ket and interest rates were favora-
BILE. The interest at 5 per cent on
that amount would be $4,000.
Now let 1t be clearly understood
that not one Of us, who believe that
county bonds are the best and only
solution. have any preference for
paying interest. But we have been
paying interest. County warrants
bear per cent interest and II inter-
est rates increase, the market for
new warrants certainly will not i'm
prove to make them preferable to
bonds.
Direct taxation Is always prefera-
BILE. Nobody disagrees with Mr.. j.
7. Jacobs In theory. He might have
told the U. s. government the same
thing at the outbreak Of the war.
He might tell any railroad or other
transportation system, to pay for
everything out Of Its pocket.
As / have said before Weld coun-

important transportation system.

It grows this year closer to 1000

sections OF the county have hardly a
