818.56 in the Beaver Creek Bond Sink
ing Fund. ' ' '
It may be well to recall at this time
that the outstanding general fund,
water and road fund warrants, Jan. I,
1914, was $110,110.36 ana that there
are now outstanding only about half
that amount. The road and water are
on a cash basis. Besides this a num
ber of adjustments were made like
paying for the street flusher $1100.00
etc. Aside from this the sewer was
built to the proposed subway, therim
on the water reseivoir above town
and the dam at the intake were con
structed, also the drain under the walk
on First was constructed. All these
have been paid' for out of the current
water and road funds.
; It has not added to the debts, f
the city, k The tax rate next year is no
greater than it was in 1913 and 191
while it includes two mills road tax
then a county tax and five mills or
$18,600.00 for , payment of North
Second street paving and general warrants.-
.
,If it were not for including these
special taxes of 2 mills road and 5
mill Second street, the tax could be
down to between 12 to 15 mills. Un
less the taxpayers assume additional
burdens; there is; a large decrease in
city taxes in sight. V The big burden
still is the $50,000 to $60,000 general
fund warrant debt." It can be paid off
in two or three years without becom
ing burdensome. . .
