by the Sec'y. Minutes of preceding meet
ing read aud approved. Prest. called for
the reports of the wards. Mr. Summer
EolI e hove
from the 1st Ward The other wards were
reported favorably as before. Prest. Moore
expressed himself glad to see that the LIST
Ward entertained better feeling towards
the League than formerly and that the in
terest of the other wards is steadily increas-
ing. The following resolution was offered
by H. Wilber
Resolved, That all city bonds exchanged
for railroad bonds with coupons detached,
and not in the possession Of he city, are
in direct collation. of the law and are fraud,
equal only in extent to the railroad bonds
themselves. Uuap imously adopted.

Mr.. P. Devy referred the meeting to the
amount against the city. 1t had been said
that Sl20,O 900 would settle the debt; the
above statement shows how Inconsistent it
is to delude the people with any such false
representation rs, and what the consequence
would be if the people, in perfect ignorance
OF the true state of the case consent to settle
this illegally contracted and accumulat
burden, they would, when too late, see the
injustice hey had done themselves and their
children ali er them; that The grand object
OF the League was TO make all things clear
A. W. Carln moved that request be
made to the Mayor aud Board of Street
thC lCSiu1utj budt
the city Clerk be sent TO M tdson 10 exam
inc the records and ascertain what judg
ments have oeen renIes ed against the city
since 1870. Adopted.
Mr.. 2. Rogan said he was d taxpayer and
he wished TO know why he could not be
admitted into The League. Pres't Moore
replied 20 him By saying that The Commit
tee would consider his inquiry and reply 10
it at The Dext meeting.
Mr.. r. Jones rose and proposed that full
and entire statement OF this bond transac
ton should be made f1om the very COM
mencenent up to the present time all
records 10 ne searched, an all transG ctions
TO be plainly stated. The same to be print
ed in circular form, both IN German and
English. The above proposition met the
most earnest and hearty approval OF all
present. K. Jones further stated that there
are many OUTSIDE of the League " ho have
expressed their Willingness to contribute to
the expense of the aforesaid movement
Pres't Moore then appointed committee of
four, Mr.. Piper, Mr.. Carlin, Mr.. Devy, Mr..
Jones, 10 ascertain the cost of bringing out
the pamphlet aforesaid in German an Eng
lish. Mr.. Devy Stated he will have next
week an abstract prepared for the press, of
