The matter of the injunction restrain
ing the Council from action in the loan
ing of the city funds, came up.
Mayor Hazard said that this proceed
ing was evidently taken to prevent the
loaning of the city money at an interest
that would turn some money into the
city treasury. Aslong as the city money |
was loaned out without interest there
was no objection on the part of the com
plaiuant. He thought that if the Council
stood together in good faith, and de-
manded that the city money be placed in |
the vaults, the plaintiff would lose his
interest. The gentleman was one of the |
stockholders in the bank which had the |
money and consequently he had an in |
terest in preventing the money being |
loaned to the highest bidder. He sug-
gested that the matter be continued un-
til this afternoon, and the court might be
induced in the meantime to shorten the
time of hearing and force the complain
ant to pay to the city the amount lost in
interest.

see how this could be.

lights had been placed in front of the
