Fortunately ther Is ample time for this before th present water plant shall be- com Insufficient. . These defects may be summarised as follows: 1. Th bonds and interest ar to be paid out of the general taxes, and not out of the earnings of the water plant. This will probably diminish the market valu of th bonds, to the loss of the ' city. ; There should also b a distinc tion made between the main trunk lines, which perhaps might be fairly paid for out of th general tax fund, and other is constructed it Is . to be turned over to county court for its control snd man agement, as the other bridges now are. .

Th bonds to be issued to be for 25 years: Interest 4 per cent, payable half-yearly. New fire boat to be built and fire mains laid by the executive board. This act provides fire protection to a very large part of the city entirely Independent of the present water sys tem. The protection given by the new fire boat and mains will naturally -extend to every part of the city, as the present fire apparatus would then be more free to look after -the more dis tant parts of the city. .
