The Committee are happy TO announce
that, through a friend Of the city, the
claim of Simpson had been provided for,
and the city's stock saved. AS soon sc
this bond difficulty is arranged, they
hope to be able to pay the. iremen and
others. 1t is not the committees fanlt
that it has not already been done. If
these parties would only work TO aid Us
as they are nov working TO throw OBJ
stacles in our way, these claims could be
paid by Saturday nigAt.
Alderman Gallagher, who had his
mouth open during the last three minutes
OF the reading Of the report, so as TO be
ahead in making the motion, moved to
receive and file the report.
Alderman Williams thought that that
was not such a report as the Finance
Committee ought to make, with the Ia
borers and firemen starving for their
money. He thought it was high time
something was done, and that the Board
should not allow itself to be bluffed, but
should pull off it's coat and roll up its
sleeves, and wade into the ilancja! diff
fculty.
The motion being renewed the report
was received and filed.
THE INJUNCTION.
On motion of Gallagher, the City Attor-
ney, was called on TO give Whist inform
alton he could about the Injunction
alleged to have been served,
Col. Morgan stated that an Injunction
had been filed on Friday, T~scouuting of
what the Injunction consisted. etc. The
Chancellor; on granting the injunction,
restrained the city from using the bonds
except for funding the bonded indebted
ness. He (Col. Morgan) had made q
motion which would come up for hear
ing on Fridsy next, which would, he
thought, modify the Injunction. The
motion was, that the Chancellor de6ue
the meanirg Of " funding = bonded in.
debtedness." He held hat funding
meant converting g short Indebtedness
to a longOne, or putting off fer 3 long
time q debt already due or sOon t. be-
come so. He cited different eases in
point, and said Friday being motion day,
he hoped TO have the matter settled.

mittee being in order,
