At the last meeting of the Gener al

an ordinance directing the Mayor to
issue warrants in amounts of 500, $50,
$25 and surplusage warrants for frac-
tional amounts, to take up certificates OF
indebtedness heretofore issued, and to
be issued to parties who hold Nicolson
pavement receipts. Should this neces-
sary measure be adopted it will enable
taxpayers to use the warrants without
suffering from curbstone brokers and
spectators who handle large warrants
and charge heavy per cent. for the
same. This ordinance should be adopted
for the benefit and convenience of tax
payers. The General Council should
take the matter under consideration to-
nipht.
