(The italics are ours) : "The question of. waterworks is particularly interest- ing. Waterworks are specifically. men- tioned in the Act, if çelf -liquUiating. Obviously,ý if receipts f rom water Me- ters and water taxes are ear-marked for serice of the. debt there would; be no question about their self-liquidàting character . ." "ýOpinionsof numerous authorities. is that this ear-marking of, t'ater uinds could be accornplished cas- UN in inwst cities. by more ordinance.>' Prmthe above. it would seem that if Wilmette. were successful in securing a léan f rom this source, that the profit f romn the- sale of water wbicb is now used, to reduce the tax levy would then. have to be used to amnortize the loan. Therefore the. tax, levy would sufer a radical increase until the nan. was repaid. "But then, for that iatter*, the saine situation will probably develop even if the waterworks is built f rom bor.- rowed funds of any kind whetber they are borrowed fiom the Reconstruction Finance corporation or bondholders.
