$4,000 This fact was brought out
at the weekly business mems luncheon
Of the Chamber Of Commerce this
noon. The present outstanding debt
against the plant amounts to Ss5.0oo,
and the water fund at present has in
it $4,000. leaving $4,000 to be raised
by a bond issue
Although the plan Of financing the
water works improvements by form
ing a dummy company was offered to
the common council merely as a sug
gestion, the Chamber Of Commerce is
well convinced that It IS the most
feasible plan by which to raise the
necessary capital. 1t was pointed out
at the meeting that the city's credit

market for them. has little founda-

knowledge that the bonding house
which originally handled the bonds Is
a very reputable concern, and that
no bonds are accepted by this com
