Treasurer Bergman said to the council
that the interest on the water bonds is
about to become due, and that there is
not sufficient money in hat fund to pay
said interest, but suggested that there was
a surplus in other city funds which
might be used temporarily to pay the
water bond interest.
On motion of Alderman Harrington the
treasurer was authorized to use surplus
in other funds as suggested.
Mr.. Keefe moved that the ordinance on
grease traps passed at this meeting be
published for one issue in three daily pa
pers. Alderman Harrington amended by
making it four papers, which will include
the Mirror. Mr.. Keefe accepted the
amendment, and the motion carried as
amended.
The council then adjourned.
