of the discount. If the plan proposed by
tho committee is not interfered with he
thought the city could get through the hsca!
Year without making loan until the
end of the year, and then only to
the same amount as the loan which would
now be paid off. There was need OF the
discount to indacs taxpayers to pay prompt
ly 10 July to meet the interest, &c. NO
money would be gained by the proposed
change and much might be lost.
Mr.. Fisher urged that if the money did
not come In in July to meet the interest the
tax bills might be hypothecated with the
banks for losD.
Mr. Sno1den said this could not be done.

make loan on tax bills a5 security. Be
