favorable
balance

$1,156,823.03.
Thus
youthful
and
sparsely
populated
Prince
Rupert,
is
alto
"a
city
with
a
balance
sheet"
and
a
very
substantial
one,
too.
Prince
Rupert
operates
Its
finances
on
the
basis
of
serial
debentures
and
not
with
a
sinking
fund
as
Is
the
plan
In
the
most
of
other
British
Columbia
cities.
That
Is,
Prince
Rupert
has
adopted
the
plan
of
paying
as
It
goes
and,
so
far,
the
city
has
been
readily
able
to
meet
its
obligation
as
they
periodically
matured.

on

Is

The
largest
Item
In
Trliice
Rupert's
physical
assets
Is
the
electric
light
department
which
Is
valued
ln
the
city's
annual
statement
at
$207,254.07.
The
telephone
department
Is
placed
at
$74,-05D.43
and
the
waterworks
at
$583,970.14.
Schools
of
the
rity,
as
far
as
the
city
Is
concerned
and
exclusive
of
government
grants,
are
today
valued
at
$273,-027,33.
In

to
these
are
the
values
represented

TJio
liabilities,

Is
unique
