A Pleasant Reception.

By far the most pleasant social event in
Owosso for a long time was the reception
rendered Congressman Charles A. Towne
and wife, of Duluth, Mimi, at the home of
Stanley K. Parkill last evening. The home
was most tastily and beautifully decorated
with flowers and smlax. The arrange
ments we're such that while over 400 callers
were in attendance from z to II O'Clock
everyone had chance to meet and greet
the guests of the evening without hurryng.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert Taylor received the
callers, who were introduced by Mr. Parkill
to Mr.. and Mrs. Towne. Mrs. L. E. Gould,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Whipple and Mrs. A.
E. Stever assisted in receiving. Light re-
freshments were served.
Mr.. Parkill Is to be congratulated upon
the success of the reception, the affair sur
passing all previous efforts by this most
popular entertainer.
Mr.. Towne was a resident of this city
until he was 20 years Of age and although
he has been away for number of years
remembered nearly every one of the
friends who called. Mrs. Towne is charm
ing lady and we believe the congressman
and his wife will become in Washington, as
elsewhere, social favorites.

City Fina noes.

The report made by the finance commit
tee at the council meeting Monday evening
will interest every taxpayer in the city. It
shows that after many years of bonus pay
ing the city has at last wiped out all the
floating Indebtedness (save the order
for $500 due Aug. 1, 1895, for
the bridge) and has a bonded indebt-
edness of only Sit, 900, $4,000 OF which
is for the T. e. A. A. Ry., extension
bonds, $780, T. & A. A. Ry. car shops,
and sos, 900 for water works.
The report shows that aside from paying
the running expenses the following large
sums have been expended during the year:
Extension water works mains, S12,27O, 90;
T. & A. A. bond 81, 900; Washington street
bridge and abutments, 81, 1879, so; abutments
Oliver street bridge $500; sewers S659. As;

5000; city account overdraw April LIST. 1894,
Sl,17s.s7;a total expenditure of S35, 342. 90
for improvements, payment floating debt,
interest, etc. OF this amount $40, 900 came
from the sale of water bonds, and the bal
ance of $15,34299 from the taxes. 1t
should be stated in this connection that S.
600 realized from the sale of the water
works bonds was paid into the city treas
ury to make good the amount the conting-
ent fund had been previously overdrawn to
to pay water works orders. A detailed
statement is given in the council proceed
ings.
