VILLAGE OF. SIDNEY ‘AND CITY OF

the. village of ‘Sidney, the popula-

a very limited area, a total popula-

taxpayers it did not have the. rev-
enue for its essential services, and
consequently its councils. are com-

pelled to adopt a policy * contin-

Discussing -the city’s debt, ‘the
mayor said that approximately
$23,000 must be found every year
for repayment of principal and
interest on the outstanding bond
issues. Some years ago $25,000 was
