President Davis scheme to bond the
/ city of Gainesville to pay outstanding in
/ debtedness was knocked into obscurity
! tuesday night when the council in spec
! ial session completed the equalization of
/ city taxes Mr.. Davis scheme was to
! raise the valuation of city property % per
cent, and issue bonds to the amount of
/ $4,000. The city is already bonded to the
/ limit, and to have increased her bonded
debt it would be necessary to raise the
! valuation of property. This cannot be
/ and accepted. Another scheme must be
! adopted to raise money, as it is almost
! impossible in the present condition of af-
| fairs TO carry on the city's government
| without the issuance of scrip against the
| various funds, and this the council is op-
| posed to. President Davis has another
/ scheme which he will present to the coun-
| ell at their next meeting. He will not
! say at present what it is.
