HOW TO REDUCE INTERES1 City Ofiicials Ruminating Over a Problem of Municipal Finance. WANT TO DO BUSINESS ON CASH BASIS Comptroller AVi-nOierw llax u 1'lun to Subitltutc tiliort Time Uouilw for Warrant * uuil Tliu Cut UIT Intercut Cliuritf . There 8c ms to bo one pro-eminent propo sition , a problem of finance that the city otlldals of Omaha appear to unanimously de sire to offer for the consideration of the comfng legislature. That Is a change in the present law governing metropolitan cities to do away with the provision that compels cities of that claes to pay 7 per cent Interest on wp.rrantB outstanding when there Is no f money in the city funds to pay Item. Va rious and divers plant ) are suggested to sup "A plant this law , and it stems to bo left to Uie council to decide which 1s the best one. It appears certain that some bill In thU di rection will bo Introduced In the legislature. The Bee has already mentioned several proposed changes. Ono is to reduce the rate of Interest from 7 to 5 per cent ; another to permit the city to borrow money from banks on short time notes to meet the obligations of the city In the early part of the jear. the money to bo repaid when taxes are paid In ; a third to levy a year's assessment In ad- vauci' . that Is , for example , that the 1800 levy shall bo made In 1899 In order to have | | available the money nrcded to run the city In 1'JOO. at the beginning of the latter year. The two latter schemes are Intended to put the city on a strictly cash basis , n condition that Is far preferable to one where the city la continually in debt. City Comptroller \Vcstberg now advances a fourth plaa whereby the city may do a cash b.islness. The city comptroller's scheme provides for the Issuance of short tlmo certificates ot In- debtcdncss , or , in fact , tonds. llovr the City Ciftn Ili-lilnil. Past experience has established It as a fact that people do not pay their taxes until they have to , until the taxes become delinquent upon Juno 1 of each year. Consequently the city must inn during the first live months of the year without money , must give prom ises of payment in lieu of salaries and other TO OF OiAHA BOYS ! TAKE NOTICE !

These promises are In the shape of warrantu which draw 7 per ce.it Interest. They arc taken up when the taxes are paid In and money Is thereby available , nut while these warrants are being taken up with the money tint ccmcs in In the fliapu of taxes , I no city Is continually Incurring new obligations and Interest-bearing war rants to satisfy these uro being Issued. The consequence Is that during almost the entire * " tire "jenr warrants ate outstanding and the city pajs largo amounts of money In Interest. In place of this system City Comptroller \Vestbcrg proposes that on the first of each year thu city council shall estimate the prob- nblo expenses of running the city govern ment during the first flvo or six months of the _ year. For this amount It shall < lssuu cortilkates of dcprslt or bonds to run what ever length of time Is deemed advisable. The bonds will be sold In the ftr.it part of the year and with the proceeds the city shall pay Its obligations In cash. Xo Interest- bearing warrants will bo Issued because they are not necessary. Comptroller tt'cst ! < > rg Insists that the ad vantages of this gyntem are obvious. For example , .ho Indebtedness ot the city would be concentrated.

For the comptrollar pro poses that the bonds ohall be Uucd In blocks of $500 or $1,000. They will bo put upon the market and may bo purchased by citi zens or banks or brokers. Kfononiy of tlir Plan. The greatest advantage of the plan fol lows from this. With bonds of such amount the Interest can be greatly lesticncd. Mr. \Vostberg estimates that tlio certificates can easily be disposed of If they draw Interest no greater than 4 % per cent. The city will therefore save the difference between 7 per cent and -IVi per cent , which nltl amount to many thousands of dollars during the course of the year. The city comptroller asserts that his rchoiEo has advantages over others that have been proposed. Ho says : "If the Interest on warrants should be reduced from 7 per cent to C per cent , we would still have the great task of registering the warrants and would still hro to pay nt least M per cent Interest more than Is necessary. It wo levy a tax arseitment In alvance , It would be necessary lo levy a double assessment one year , and property owners would kirk against that.

"Hut none of these objections exist against the plan I propose. If our citizens and banks would not care to take the bonds , we could easily dispose of them ehiouhcre. In fact , It Is n eloiple proposition. The city Is but a little country store on a large scale. Sup pose a merchant Is a debtor in miny nmall amounts to the sum cf $3,000. Would It not be more economical for him to go to a bank and borrow that fJ.OGO at C per cent Intereit and pay there many small debts than to pay 10 and 12 ptr cent a year upon tlioaj many debts ? That Is exactly the situation In which the city Is placed. "Tho plan I propose Is employed by St. Paul and Minneapolis , and Is working very successfully. IlncUlrn'H Arnlfa Salve.
