ROSEBUBG'S FINANCIAL SITUATION.
"Has Rosoburg a "miracle man" ot finance? If so, let
him come forward and present a safe and sane plan to meet
the'eity's financial situation, as set forth in detail in the
Ncws-Kevicw issue of October 6. Tlie city is not threatened
with receivership by any means, but it is in urgent need of
more revenue with which to meet current expenses, pay in
terest on bonds and if the taxpayers so desire establish a
$lu)yng fund with which to pay off the principal on bonds,
JjStated briefly in plain terms, the situation is that the
city requires $50,000 a year to meet all items of indebtedness,
find the most it can raise under legal limitations on the pre
tend assessed valuation of all taxable property is 840,000.
The difference of 810,000 can be raised additionally under
thater provision by "special" levy, initiated by the taxpay-
prs.Jhemselves and applicable exclusively to expenses for fire
mid police protection. Obviously the situation calls for a
general maximum tax levy of 10 mills and a special tax levy
besides, but he who advocates higher taxes in these days
lakes the same chance as one who ventures to explore a pow
der magazine with a lighted match.
I', J Nevertheless, to borrow that famous utterance of Grov
fer Cleveland, "it is a fact and not a theory that confronts
us. Consider for a moment this one fact alone: For thirty
fhrie years the city has paid 81,250 interest annually on
125,000 worth of bonds issued for the construction of the
city hall and the original unit of the main sewer system.
These bonds reached their first date of maturity thirteen
years ago, and there wasn't a dollar on hand at that time to
myt the principal. They were re-issued, of course, and af-
Jer thirteen years to the present date we find 826,000 laid by
Jo .take up the issue when it matures for the second time
peen years hence. By the time that settlement date rolls
around, the city will have paid a grand total in principal and
flitercst of $75,000 on that single obligation of 825,000 alone.
That the debt will be paid off is of course a satisfying thing
' to look forward to, but with the 40-year period required for
the transaction and a payment ratio of $2 for $1 specula
lion' naturally arises as to when the city will pay off other
obligations, for which there isn't a dollar laid by, and at how
much cost .
! ""Here are the bald facts to ponder over: Other bonded
fiuEbtedncss of the. city aggregates a total of $102,000, of
which $75,000 is for street improvements, which will pro-
bably have to be renewed on or before the date of maturity.
One batch of these bonds expires in 1929 and the other in
1980, five and six years hence. There is a 10-year issue of
$12,000 for the city library, and a 20-year issue of $15,000
for the fire fighting apparatus. It is quite probable that the
apparatus will have to be either supplanted or augmented
loiig before the bonds are due.
Do the taxpayers prefer to continue interest payments
on. these bonds by re-issues, or do they want them paid off
when duo. New things in the way of improvements are in
constant demand, but they cannot be provided until we pay
for" what we already have, that is without plunging deeper
ttWdcbt. Our top-heavy condition is undesirable. No grow
ing city can avoid indebtedness, it is true, but in Roseburg's
tase there should be a better financial arrangement for satis
fying its debts.
Sooner; or later the group of obligations must be
liquidated. The city cannot hide its head in the sand ostrich
like, so to speak, and the municipality might as well begin
now figuring on a plan to extricate itself. Merely enough ad
ditional money to meet increased current expenses would

Jo comparatively small sums annually, and for that reason

will ease the prolonged burden.
