MUNICIPALITY MONEY.

Confidence is increasing in municipal paper.
The First Municipality has struggled nobIy TO
obtain means To place its issues on a cash basis,
and although the efforts Of the authorities have
not met with the success REASONABLY anticipated,
enough has been done to convince any one they
are determined to save uoteholders f ON ruinous
losses. The following resolutions, passed AT the
meeting OF the Council on Wednesday evening,
with but one dissenting VOICE:
| Resolved, That the ordnance OF the o3d inst.
authorising the Treasurer to issue Treasury
certificate s, bearing an interest OF ten per cent be
so amended, that the said certificates shall bear
with them Il privilege upon the proceeds OF the
sale Of the properly, formerly Bianc's and Nc.
| Dor onghs, which proceeds shall he solely APP
! piled TO the redemption Of the said Treasury
certificates, and that the faith of the First Mu-
nicipulty be pledged for the execution of the
aforesaid measure.
| BE it further Resolved, That in case an
amount Of at least $4,000 could not be raised
within delay Of Ten days, by meaus Of the
Aforesaid Treasury certificates, then this rom-
Gil shall proceed to levy tax Of one per ceut,
on all the real properly.
The notes OF our own Municipality G'e re-
Ceivcd without hesitation, by all, we believe.
Great interest is felt amongst all classes, TO
! know the acutual condition oil the finances the
Third Municipality. It's notes have been gene
rally refused, and it is impossible 10 say what
their value is. The council met on Wednesda Y
evening, and received communication from the
Mayor, Urging the adoption of prompt aud eff
cient measures for the redemption of their notes
The following official exhibit ishighly interesting
at this time:
