Third Street Business Boost
ers Get Flying Start in
Race for Recognition
Permanent Organization
Formed With Fred $.
Meyer President

The Third Street Business Boosters
organization is now settled fact.
At a meeting held Tuesday perma
nent organization was formed with
Fred S. Meyer, president; Robert
Fisher, vice president; William Howe,
secretary; f. B. Hughes, treasurer.
The charter member list shows
there are 80 members enrolled. This
means that practically every man con
ducting business on Third street,
north and south, is member Of the
organization And further, with
practically every man eligible enroll
ed, this means a real live organization
and that Third street is to be heard
from and reckoned with in the future.
The purpose of the organization is
to let the people of Hamilton know
that this isn't just one business
street town. and that Third street is
on the business map of Hamilton.
While there will be many special
shopping and sales days set for Third
street only, yet it is the intention of
the Third Street Business Boosters
to cooperate at all times with the
business men of all Hamilton in any
thing for the advancement and pro-
gress of the city
After a discussion at the meeting
Tuesday, Thursday, May Is, was Sc
lected as first special bargain day for
Third street, and from all indications
it is to be live and gala one. The
president was authorized to get out
the stationery and printing necessary,
and all who know the presidents abil-
ity along this line are looking for
something big.

City Will Be in Enviable
Financial Position.

The net bonded debt of the District
government has been reduced to $780,
234, believed to be the lowest of any
city in the United States, according
to figures obtained last night from
Maj Daniel ]. Donovan, auditor. This
amount, pro-rated on the present esti-
mated population of $4,000 inhabi-
tants, would make the per capita
debt only 35 cents.
The actual amount of city bonds
outstanding is $4,71s.70o. But the
municipality has a sinking fund in
which the total assets arc now s4,-
563,465.62. These assets, deducted
from the value of the bonds, leaves
the net indebtedness as stated above.
Cannot Issue Bonds.
These bonds all will be retired by
August, 1924, leaving the National
Capital free from debt. OF course, in
comparing Washington's small debt
with other American cities it should
be remembered that the District,
being under the legislative control Of
Congress, cannot issue bonds as other

Washington's present bonded debt
was incurred many years ago. Under
the present form Of government the
city depends entirely upon the annual
appropriation bill enacted by Con-
gress for building schools, laying
streets and obtaining other necessi-
ties of city life.
Two years ago the former board of
Commissioners suggested a new bond
issue as one means Of meeting the
urgent need for school buildings,
street paving, bridges and other work
that had accumulated during the war
period. The suggestion was not act
ed upon by Congress.
The Districts sinking fund is in
vested in liberty loan and Panama
canal bonds. and the income from the
fund is now sufficient to meet interest
charges. The Commissioners, It is
understood. will not have to include
an appropriation for the sinking fund
in their new estimates.
When the outstanding bonds become
due in 1924 the Commissioners will
liquidate the sinking fund assets and
wipe out the account.
