Mr.. Homer stated that certain warrants had
been issued which bore no interest, and he
thought the owners entitled to interest from
the date Of issue of warrants until paid.

back interest he would vote to do so.

owner that the warrants were not registered.
The treasurer at that time had failed to reg
lister the warrants.

opinion, and. said the warrants ought to have
been presented, and if there was no money,
they should have been 30 endorsed, and would
then have borne interest till paid.

were bogus warrants, and lots of them, In the
