WHEELING, w. Va, April ID, 1877.
To the Council of the CITY of Wheeling:
GESTLEMEN:-I respectfully report
to YOU that the 6per cent loan now otfer'
ed for sale is not being taken. Only
10000 as vet has been sold. Owing t
local opposition, it is not probable that
any more can be sold here, and an etfor
made in eastern cities proved irultles
in placing it elsewhere. From inform
stiJn which / have, l believe
5 per cent loan, ut 30 years
without the redemption feature, payable
interest and principal, IN New YORK
could be readily negotiated, and re-
spectiully suggest that the Committee on
finance, or y special COMMITTEES, be IN
slructed to inquire into and report upon
the 20: sibility and propriety OF making
such effort. SD rs to render unnecessary
any further sale'of the d per cent. loan
The necessity Tor taking prompt action
either to make the + per cent. loan sell
or to provide one that will be taken IN
its place, and so provide money ;or the
payment of the city's debt, is apparent
wnen 1t Is remembered that the city IL
yet paving per cent. on over $4,000 oil
balance due the Exchange bank.
Respectfully,
A. }. SWEENEY, Mayor.
