(Jouiicil at some fu- ture date might say that it was al- together unnecessary to place any money to the credit of the per- sinking funds. as they were up to the actuarial basis anyway; and they would be very liable to use the amount for other expenditures, wise or unwise.

“Another method, and possibly a good one. would be to place the amount either to the credit of the permanent works fund or in a special fund for the extension of street work. What would this mean? Simply this, that your civic account receipts would be much smaller and the rate of tux- utioii would naturally have to be. increased.

“The fourth method, which we have followed. is this: After the money is received at the City Hall it b, retained by the City, but kept in a separate account. und at the end of the year the total amount necessary for sinking funds are transferred to their proper ac- counts. This means that instead of receiving four percent from the Bank on our sinking funds, and being charged six percent on our over-draft. we are saving two per ' cent for you as citizens."
