The Police committee reported
unfavorably ON remission of fine of
S. Neith and C. j. Ochse.
Under unfinished business, sew
err proposition came up. The may
or reported he had requested five
gentlemen to meet the finance
committee. None but Messrs.
Muegge and Half met. The COM
mittee had five different opinions
and had left it the city.
Mackey thought it would be best
to have the bonds in large amounts,
as per ordinance.
A. F. Beckmann said that when
he made his proposition he looked
very far ahead. He heard all the
argument and could prove all of
them untenable. Today he was
very sorry to see a question of so
much Importance so sighted. The
committee had probably not had
sufficient notice last Saturday
evening. The only tenable argu-
ment was one he heard this after
noon. 1t was the proposition for
$4,000 blocks. This man said the
amount of 100000 was too big; if
$4,000 were taken, the other $780,
900 would be difficult to place. He
was in favor of putting them at
$4,000 and selling them in bulk to
eastern capitalists. He therefore
withdrew his proposition and
amended that the bonds be issued
in $500 lots aud be steel en-.
graved.
Daugherty was in favor of larger
denominations. Blocks of $1,000
or $4,000 will sell better than
$1,000. 1t is better all around.
Beckmann said the county was
trying to sell six per cent.
gold bonds and could not
get 1.02 per cent. 1t will be a
hard matter to get premium on
the five per cent sewer bond and
the premium will only be paid
once.
Beckmann presented a resolu-
tion that these bonds he steel en-
graved, carried, and the ordinance
passed.
An ordinance granting the San
Antonio Street Car company right
way on Medina street was not
granted.
The ordinance governing the
speed of electric cars in city limits
and also allowing cars to dispense
with conductors outside the mile
limits was read and laid over
under the rules.
