Coxrxo IS.-Ws learn from Mr.. Watkins,
the Secretary Of the board Of commission
ere. appointed to compremiss our city in
dsotsdnsss, that they are daily receiving
letters from holders Of bonds, inquirng ~
to tbs method Of settlement, and giving
the amount Of tseir bonds, etc.
The commissioners propose first TO A.
certain the exact amount Of the indebted
ness and the names Of al holders Of bonds,
for the purpose Of detecting oil that are
bogus, and then to make some arrangement
for transferring the whole debt into bonds,
payable under the special law. Before

action to the city council, ct which time it
will be known how the city stands and
what 10 to bs dons-until then the public
must patiently wait. We think, however,
the people are in no special hurry to pay.
