Commissioners Be1e1l and
Frazer Issue a State
ment.

Finance Commissioners iell INT
Frazer have prepared q statement in
which they give their objections to the
recent resolution of the Bnarl OF Finance
authorizing the issue of $3.50. 900 City Hall
bonds. They say that it was agreed last
year that the issue OF the bonds should
not be considered until after December
Is next. and that Messrs.
Hitler. Det willer and Simpson,
Messrs. Bsdell aud Frazer were not
present are guilty of u breach of agree
meut. Had the Inter Commissioners
been present they would have voted
against the resolution because they
believe it is not only upwise to force a
sale of bonds at the present time, but
the Commissioned action was an open
violation of u plsdge, u failure in official
courtesy aud a forfeiture of future con-
fdence.
Messrs. Bedsll and Frazsr are Of opin-
lou that the taxpayers don't want at this
time to have added to their BONDED debt
S75.0 900 for n City Hall and they
complain that the amount mentioned
in the original act providing for the pur-
chase Of a Hall has been increased to q

lows
I'VE are satisfied that taxpayers are
not prepared ut this time to aid to their
bonded debt $4,000 for a City Hall and
its curtilaRe.
1.-The public do not understand that In
the original act providing for the pur-
chase aud erection of a city hall
the total expenditure was limited to the
sum of two hundred dollars in addition
to u mou not exceeding fifty
thousand dollars derived from the sale of
buildings and ground rs provided in this
act. but thai the original amount was
