Resolutions

Whereas, The city Of Ocala has
an outstanding indebtedness in
bonds and floating scrip TO the
amount of 324, 900; and
Whereas, The scrip system of
Ocala is a menace to the credit OF
the city and takes money from
legitimate channels Of business
and invites speculation upon the
credit Of the city; and
Whereas, Said speculation and
scrip system floats the indebted
ness Of the city on paper that is
discounted in the markets ten
Der cent. upon its face value, and
at the same time bears eight per
cent. interest; and
Whereas, This condition Of the
financial affairs of the city is pre-
