from the water and light plant. AS
consequence Paris is particularly
free to issue bonds for improvements
of the sort contemplated in the
reconstruction program. If the
revenues of the water and light
plant are properly designed they
will amply care for the obligations
of this particular utility. The tax
receipts ad valorem and privilege
returns, and similar incomes of the
city may then be expended for cur
rent operating purposes and the in
terest and amortization charges of
bond issues devoted to street, school
and similar city-wide improvements.
By proper adjustment of the sepa-
rate revenue receipts of the water
and light plant and of the city, a
bond issue of at least $4,000 would
seem to be easily within reach of
Paris at this time. An increase of
taxes should not be necessary. Skill

means will make possible many

now. Paris needs many improve

not under any circumstances be con-
sidered extravagances or even ex-
penses They are permanent i'm
provements.
In view of the small but highly
important field of improvement work
outlined above, it may clearly be
seen that Paris will have no diff

a $4,000 bond issue on items that
are pure necessities. No money
need go for frills or refinements.
The matter of parkway connections,

considered. Things of this sort
must come after the essential work
of renewing streets, putting the
schools in shape to give better SER
vice, and the remaking of the court
house square have been cared for.
The aim of Paris now should be to
invest the amount of a modest bond
issue in public work that will very
quickly make the city a better and
a more attractive community of
homes and business houses.
