DEBT PER CAPITA.
(To the Editor of the Times)^ Sie, —A correspondent in your Friday’s issue sets down the burdsa which the water loan, if carried, would have created at £4O per capita. That is bad enough, but the real truth is very much worse. There were SBO possible voters; of these many are reduplications of tho same qualifications, viz., husbands and wives in respect of the same property. After striking out all such from the rcii, there remain fewer than 750. Now, £750 at £IOO net head would be just the £7o[ooo. But after all rectifications are made the debt would be nearly £l2O per head.—Yours, etc,, W. E. Tccsek.
