peat my assertion, the gentlemen would
pay out all the money tonight. But We
do not intend to allow him 70 do such a
thing.
As an evidence that he would do 80, he

intend to give any notes, but run the
city up to July without them. and with
out going INTO debt.
| Mr.. Merris Taylor thought the reason
given for the passage OF The ordinance

meetings, by the small amount OF the
pay roll. The gentlemen from the Sew
enth Ward is fraid that this Vi de OF the

without running in debt. He would like
to Zee that. He spea..s about credit. This
side of the house do not intend to run
the city on sy stem of false credit. He

final passage, and passed with but two
negative votes, Messrs. Chandler and
