T. f. FARRELL Chairman
Immediately upon the reading Of the
report. Councilman Hoe moved that the
report be referred 10 the Finance Com
mittce.
Councilman Kenney moved To amehd
bv requesting the Finance Committee
TO set aside one hundred thousand do'-
lars for that purpose.
Mr.. Kenney said he thought II was
much better % take this sum out OF the
curren. revenue than it was 10 issue
bonds. As by the time the bonds ma
tured the plant would cost the city
about Sl47.OOO.
Councilman JepSon was IN favor oil
referring the matter to the finance COM
mittee. and letting that committee
wreStle with the problem unconditlon-
ally. and report back to Council. II the
city is going to put 100000 into an
electric light plant he could not see Just
where she was going TO land. There's
the stone bridge across the creek. mat
is going TO cost $4,000 more than we
thought it was going 10.
Councilman Bailey said II we Issue
bonds it is question whether we can
get the loans il we asked for them.
There are certain companies that could
throw enough money into Wheeling to
defeat the bonds if they felt so disposed.
Councilman O'Leary said he did not
believe In instructing the Finance Com
mittee. If they can see their way clear
10 arrange for the 500. 600 let them re-
port back to this Council. We don't
know what our revenues are. We
haven't even got our estimates for the
year.
Councilman Kenney said 1t might be
a difficult matter to raise the 100000
but he thought the Finance Committee
could see their way clear by scaling
down the different departments.
After a long discussion as to the prob
abilities of raising the money, the ques-
ton was put on the amendment OF Coun-
Gilman Kenney that the Finance Com
mittee be requested to arrange for the
same, and the yeas and NAYS being
called. the amendment prevailed as fol-
lows:
YeaS-Baiey, Brock, Capps, Craig,
Freeze. Hadlich, Hoe, kenney, kreiter,
Morningstar, O'Malley, Robertson, Wal
Their. Warneke, Zocckler.
NayS-Klein, O'Leary, Wetzell' Jep-
son.
The amendment then went to the
First Branch, where, after considerable
discussion. il was finally cOncurred in
