against selling bonds at present. Still
there is no question that the city will be
able to meet its obligations for interest
and bonds as they matnre---''
No doubt about that" interrupted
Mr.. Harden bergh. President W Washburn's
able lieutenant.
Certainly. there is no doubt about
it," continued President Washburn.
when times are easier, and I anticipate
they will be within the next three mouths,
the city Will have no trouble whatever
IN selling its bouds.''
