Tampa Tribune. A few weeks ago the
city council had a warrant for 81 1926 issued
to the electric light company, BY an order
from the secretary of the company the
warrant was given to party who negotia-
ted the warrant without the consent or in
dorsement of the proper officers of the
company. The company then applied for
another warrant, which was issued to it.
After the issuing of the warrant applica-
ton was made to have it cut up into smaller
warrants. For the sake of convenience this
was done. This week $35,0O0 was turned
over to the city treasurer to pay off out
standing warrants. When the second issue
of the electric light warrants was presented
to him the treasurer declined to pay them
upon the ground that the council had
no right TOT issue them, and that the city
would be in danger of having to pay the
first warrant. The council at a special
meeting ordered him to turn back the
money given him. This he refused to do, as
he said he was responsible for the money
unless paid out according to the ordinance
prescribing his duties. At the regular
meeting of the council last night another
order was passed directing him to return
the money to the First National Bank
What the result of the embroglio will be it
is hard to forecast, but one thing we know
is that the money on which the citizens are
paying interest, instead of being paid out,
is now tied nm
