meeting OF the council.
The language Mr.. Boehme did use wa
this: That 1t was reported in the paper
that silver coin was at discount of Q
per cent in New York, and there the
looked upon it as debased metal.
The language used regarding the ia,
!. collector having the right to make sci
Element with the treasurer O.
, in silver when he, the tax CO.
lector, and marshal received gold
, silver and currency from the ts
, and business men will give the tax CO.
lector the privilege of making money b,

the board that the load OF silver was oi
! fsred to him just nine minutes befor
