MILWAUKEE TAKING :. STEPS TO ELIMINATE
 CITY'S PUBLIC DEBT

MADISON, Wis, June 30.-The gradual elimination of it's public debt with a consequent reduction of taxes, is to be undertaken by the city of Milwaukee as the result of enactment by the Wisconsin Legisla- ture of bill creating public debt amortization fund. The Wisconsin city is said to be the first in the United States to take such a step
 Under the new Milwaukee plan the city is compelled annually to set aside $250,000. This growing fund is allowed to accumulate with com pound interest until it reaches an amount equal to three-fourth of the city's bonded indebtedness. After that time, the law provides, three fourths of the annual income from the accumulated fund is paid to the city treasury, with the principal still allowed to grow by the amount of the city's contribution and one fourth of the interest.
 To start the plan the present ad- minstraticn has deposited $400, 900 in the amortization fund. Another $250,000 is to be deposited next January 1. With this rate contin- ued, it is estimated that Milwaukee, s debt will disappear in 40 years, and the city tax rate will have been re- duced one-third..
