The CITY Committee OF Finance had a.
interesting session on Saturday evening
The meeting was called TO make a settle
mert with Messrs. Brady and Wilkinson
the commissioners OF the compromise loan
The Interesting matter was IN relation {
The question Of paying out orders for inter
est on outstanding orders. A few word
will make the matter clear. City orders
when there is no money in bank, are "ac
copied BY the City Receiver, and from tn
dale Of such acceptance bear interest at tn
rate OF c per cent. The question before th
committee vas whether the clerk should
draw his order for interest due on these or
ders, which would virtually be compound
ing tie interest, as the new orders woulC
also bear interest. In connection witt
this there are the overdue interest coupon
Of the loan Of ISL, which the cit,
failed to meet on October |. The commit
tee, after a full discussion, decided not Il
issue orders for interest.
This action will commend itself 20 tn,
tax payers of the city as eminently correct
There is no course of argument to justif,
the compromising Of interest on city orders
The interest is not due at any specific time
and it is, therefore, not due the holders t.
pay them compound interest. Many o
hose orders were cashed, and are held b
sreculsiors, aud quite q number were dis
counted Of shaved Where is tie
tee in paving them COMPOUND interes.2
With regard to the interest on the bond
oflSsl, that is a different matter. That iu
terest was due on October |, and If no: paic
then, interest is due on it. The committee
held, however, that a loan ordinance woulI
be ratified in the course Of two or tire,
weeks, and money be obtainable.
As respects a loan ordinance, a plan will
be submitted 10 Council. on Tuesday night
BY the citizens meeting, which will be held
tonight. 1t will be remembered that q
meeting was held, last Monday week, q;
which q committee wss named to formulate
