THAT BONDED DEBT.
From a recent report of our Finance
Committee, it appears tliat in addition
to current expenses for the present fis
cal year a debt of $42,676 must be met
in some way. The other being Bonds
and Coupons. The Committee re
commended two plans of adjustment
for their claims: one by issuing new
bonds in place of old ones, giving,
however, in exchange, probably not.
more than half the number, The oth
er, by giving up real estate—lands, to
Mie full amount of their claims in
liquidation of the same. We think the
first proposition a dangerous one; it
savors ton much of repudiation—an
act calculated to kill out any place and
people. The second proposition, how
ever, meets our hearty approval. We
look upon it as the only safe way out
of our dilemma, and one that will be
of mutual benefit. Oar city never can
grow until we are rid of this debt.
Numbers of men have come here and
gone away feeling that this was not
the place to plant their money. • So it
will be till this dark cloud of Bonds
aud Coupons shall be driven away and
the glorious sun-light of ‘‘freedom
from debt" shall shine in upon us. So
long as the city continues to own this
property, and with it this debt, just
so long she will remain in the dust.
On the contrary, let the bondholders
make the proposed exohange, thus re
lieving.the city of this burden, and
soon we shall see a change here that
will astonish all. The very property
now on the market for exohange will
then command many times its present
value. Viewing the matter in this
light,, we would urge our citizens to
authorizedhe Council to make the ex-
? change, and would recommend to the
bondholders their speedy acceptance
