eutrap|»cd into u deal by which they are
certain to lose their pro|s*rtv. Further-
more we find it hard to Is-licve that the
gentlemen of the town Ismrd are the sort
of people to coutrun a debt which they
know they cannot pay. In fa* t it *<smiis
rather absurd to worry in advance about
a deal which has never ls-eu cIomnI:
which we may In- sure never will In-
Vdoscd unless the parties can satisfy

proposition like the consolidation of the

worry on the part of the rate payers.

business detail which the «ower |ample
wilkfs-rhaps hs«k into. With the advance

water and light plant. That is the whole
utory If tin- proposiNon look* goml l« all

As to the solvency of tin* city we hav<
