Show That Hue. ExaffeerMtlon. The 80,000 dollar bug-aborf sprung on the unsuspecting people Wednesday night, is deserving more of a hearty laugh than serious ser-ious consideration. It was nothing more than a monster fabrication concocted to carry a weak point: to frighten the credulous people into a deep bog of error. Here are figuree that don't lie, though we cannot say as much for the above statement. The $20,000 bonds can be sold at & per cent, this amounts to $1,200 interest, which will be paid yearly. The license from the one saloon in town will almost pay that. A sinking fund of $000, will pay oft' the principal prin-cipal and thereby clear the entire indebtedness on the water works in 20 years. Does that amount to the alleged horribly exaggerated sum? But then the water works is not going to cost our City even 20,00a; mark that. |
