A communication was received from

| ptiutiun.
MIR. Cotton called up for a third read
ing, the ordinance creating Il loan OF
S290,0O0, for the use OF the Street and
Sewer Commission, at u rate of not
| more than A.. per cent. interest
When the first section was read MIR.
| Cotton moved to strike out AZ per
cent. and insert 1 per cent. interest.
and the motion was carried.
| Mr.. Murray said that as the Street
| and Sewer Commission could not DOS
Silly use more than half this amount
| for Some months he was in favor Of
| inserting 100000 III place of $500 600
| and he made a motion to that effect.
| He thought that If this was done, the
city would save in the interest There
Is no doubt but 100000 would lay in
bank and draw but or 3 per cent. in
terest, while tho taxpayers are paying
4 per cent for il.
Mr.. McKelyey snid there would not
be Il dollar saved 10y this, rs the last
loan cost between $500 and 5000 to ad-
Ycftise it.
This money was not spent with the
papers OF this city, but was spent III
the Sinking Fund Commissioners In
advertising in other cities, and that
was matter the Printing Committee
had nothing to do with This com
mittee only has the power to advertise
in the local papers, and this was done
at Il small expense
MIR. Cotton said that q conference
had been held by the Finance Commit
tee and the commission, at which il
was decided to have only ore loan.
Mr.. MuEee suid that he was sur
prisei to learn that the advertising
cost SO much, and as there was no
doubt but the statement was true, he
! could not see any economy In divid.
ing the loan, and having to advertise
twiee.
