No Time Warrants
Il feel that we are absolutely safe

this year, and during the term Of
the court that goes into office jan
uary l. 1881. that the whole amount
could be financed without the is
suance Of one red cent Of time
warrants.
However. this court could not
bind the next court as against auto
mobile and fine funds. but I think
that the chances are at least ten TO
one that the members Of the court
elected in the 1880 elections would
live up to this one hundred per
cent; but II they did not. then We
could Just have n thing to do,
and that is to issue the time war
rants against the IS cent statute,
because we car certainly bind
courts for the next forty years
for the next forty years under the
is cent statute. which means that
we have a wide margin W the ut
most that we would issue hereunder
OF S275 600. The tax rate would not
be raised one cent by this proce-
dure. as it has been Is cents ever
since 1919. The difference Is that
we would simply slow down on pay
ing off outstanding bonds which are
now optional and draw 5izE inter
est.
This plan in effect means that
the Harrington Precinct will be sup

be financing the La Paloma gan:
