Mr.. Burnett of Finance Committee. asked
that something be done to put some money iii
the Treasury. 1t was overdrawn.
Mr.. Jos. Smith said the Chairman should
make some proposition as to the manner of
raising it. The Treasurer unauthorized had
paid (he noticed by his report, school bond
of $1,000, and had commenced to do what had
caused so much difficulty before-borrow of
the Bounty Fund
Mr.. Malone moved that the Finance Com
mittee be instructed to raise some money.
Mr.. Brown said he was opposed to borrow
ing and paying interest when the money could
be transferred temporarily from the Bounty
Fund.
Mr.. Jos. Smith was opposed to borrowing
from the Bounty Fund, but would rather do
that than borrow outside. He thought if the
Tax Receiver collected up sharply there could
be money enough raised to meet all payments.

what amount of taxes was still uncollected,
Mr.. Wm Lyman, Tax Receiver, stated that
the amount passed over to him was $37O0-
there had been collected, rcmtted &C., $780,
leaving still in his hands, $4,000 of which about
onc-half could be collected, he thought.

terest, to A. Larson, said bond having beer

Mr. johnson offered resolution that it is
the Judgment of the Council that Swan street
