activity and aggressiveness and acted
slow in fielding his position. He certainly

BONDS GIVEN FOR LABOR.
All of the City Employees Paid or in the
New Securities.


The City Treasurer yesterday paid out
$4,000 of the new s. and $40 bonds. This
amount went TO satisfy pay-rolls OF
street, police and other departments, as
well as numerous bills and outstanding
claims. The hands were paid Off entirely
in bonds, in fact these new securities were
used exclusively in the payment OF city
officials and employees.
One workingman remarked that the
bonds were worth more than gold, as they
bore per cent. interest. And this Is
true from the standpoint of investors,
but currency or even certified checks
could be used much better in purchasing
goods and paying debts. A number OF
merchants declined to receive the paper,
as ii would not pass through the banks.
There was meeting yesterday of the
Council Committee on Water and Grounds
and Buildings Only routine business was
transacted. The later body approved the
City Hall payroll for the past four

viii be given their wages In bonds to-day.
There was some shaving in the passage
Of these bonds yesterday, but 1t did not
amount TO much.
