If we assume tbat the annual surplus income of the water department will be only $16,000, then this Surplus income would pay the principal and interest of the whole $150,000 in 13 years. If. however, the Annual surplus should continue as large as it taw been (Bay or If it should Increase to $25,000 which Is more likely, tt will readily be perceived that the bonded debt will be paid off In a much shorter tlmeprSb ably In less than 10 years.
