What would be thought of a munici-
pal council that spent try $10,00o on
sidewalk*, added the *mount to the
debt of the town with no provision
for repayment, and when the walks
wore out simply added another $10,000
to the debt and kept on paying inter-

As a matter of fact, a municipality
in Cotsrt9 Is not allowed to pyramid Its
. debt in thla way. When a debt L cre-

provide for repayment over. the term
of years for which debentures are W-
elled. But the same Government
which (quite rightly) compels the
municipalities to provide for repay-
ment of their debts does not hold it-
self to tht same obligation. The
