urnish his office with some blank affidavits
o attach to accounts presented against

nitted to obtain them. The motion was
lot seconded.

raiied, that the clerk provide rubber
tamp for that purpose.

THE BOND BUSINESS AGAIN.
Mr.. Pettes then returned to a considera-
ion Of his report, and asked for a general
iscussion OF the same.
Mr.. Pinkham said that funds must be
aised by bonding the city. The water sup.
ly will have to be furnished from the sale
bonds: that the city was from SIG, 900
} $50, 900 short, and there was no other
ay. Those who came here three, four or
We years from now would then help pay
'r these improvements, as now. il the :
oney could be raised, cash would have to
? paid.
Mr.. Monteath was Of the opinion that
bonds rnrIsf ho cold fpr So
lrposes.
Mr.. Pinkham thought the committee on Il
lenses would help the city out OF it's diff Il
lily. f
Mr.. Pettes stated that, il his report was p
viewed, the Council would find that it
Ould be impossible to raise enough money
be aRa dfsaff 5 to pRsss a RaPas
nses, but to go on permanent improve G
ents.
PRESIDENT SARGENT CONQUERED t,
these views, and thought the city had n
w arrived at that period when we must Il Il
;hergo forward or backward The city is g,
e most important one in this part OF the o
untry and should realize from the bep eft il
her resources.
Mr.. Montsath thought that the Council
ould first decide what the proceeds should
expended upon, as the city was limited Il
a small amount for either d sewerage or ri
water system. No more than 2 per cent n
uld he raised this year. and that amount -
'uld hardly provide for either system. w
e could be inaugurated this year and ",
3 other next year. He thought the Coun- ~ ~
should determine which was the most =,
portant to the city OF the two systems, 10
yerage or water supply. ~,
MR.. LYNCH MOVED pl
1T the woole matter be referred back to o,
} committee on ways and means,
could get no second.
1r. Pettes said that he had been trying -
best to cipher out the law and statutes IS
5he matter, and if there was any failure ~ ~
ack OF information, the whole RESPONSE II
ty lay upon the City Attorney. ir
fr. Pinkham moved that the list OF city ca
les to be collected be certified to the pro- m
county officials. Carried. fr
fr. Lynch suggested that the street com. to
,sioner proceed at once with the collec- ne
q of poll taxes.
fr. Monteath moved that the city clerk CO
orm the proper county officials that the til
!, levy for this year had been placed at 10
mills and that the City Attorney draw
ordinance to that effect. Carried.
ir. Lynch moved that an election be
led to vote on bonds for permanent i'm 81
