THE PLAIN FIGURES.
Why it is not Best to Issue Bonds and the
Figures .that go to Prove it
The following tabln is published in order1 to remove any doubt that
any one may hava in regard to the best, safest and most economical
way to improve our streets. Any man who is not prejudiced la the
matter or who is not prompted by ulterior motives will agree that the
ten year plan is far better in every respect. Note the following:
To issue bond8,T8t cost, ........... $ 00,000 00 '
Interest on bonds 5fc for 40 years, 180,000 00
Total,. $270,000 00 for, say 00 blocks.
Present amount of cash a- .
vailable for street work, $ 5,000 00
Raise taxes $0,000, some- "
thing less than necessary
if bonds are issued. 0,00000 '
Gives us & total per year, 111,000 00 "
Or a grand total for 10 years of. .... . $ 110,00000 for, say 110 blocks.
Giving us a saving of $160,000 00 t:f20c:ri tltS
By this arrangemant we get more blocks paved, with no interest to
pay wid no indebtedness. If any one has the ffi interest of the cltl
at heart we cannot understand why he will insist upon bonds being
issued. Macadam laying cannot be properly laid quickly, hence
eight or ten thousand dollars per year is as much as can be prudently
spent, and enough, by a city of this size. .
The progress we should seek is from the bone-yard, not to it.
