In order to take cam of tho sums
which sre thus provided for In yearly
payments, the next Issue of Improve
ment bond will be sufficiently en
larged to cover tho amounts. For
Instanco, In case an Improvement to
cost $100,000 was proposed and
13,000 worth of assessments appar
ently wanted to pay cash, only f 97,
000 worth ot bonds were Issued, as
the 13,000 would be, ' theoretically,
paid In, and there would be a- debt of
only IB7,U00. But when It appears
that the 13,000 In ssscssments rep

supposed to wish to psy cash, and
who In fact wanted the ten years In
which to pay, In order to give them
credit Instead It Is necessary to take
care of the debt In a succeeding bond
Issue.
Whatever amounts are found to be
given credit Instead of cash will be
figured up and when the next bond

will be computed as a part of It.
