RESOLUTIONS.

At the annual meeting of the Ladies
Relief society the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted: ....
Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom
has taken from us our dear friend and
fellow worker, Mrs Crosby. Be it
Resolved, That in her death the Re.
lief society has lost one of is strongest
supporters and stdunchest friends. She
was one of it's charter members, at one
time held the Office of president and for
years past that of treasurer. Always
giving freely of her time and thought
to the work. Aiming not only to
relieve temporal want but to &C.
complish permanent good.
It is the universal sentiment that
no one of our city could be
more missed by the poor and
community in general. Her in
terest was always so heartfelt and her
sympathy so sincere. Ali classes alike
sought her presence. Be it
Resolved, That though she has been
called to lay down her life work we
will not suffer the cause in which she
was so interested to fail, feeling that
in no better way could we show our
love for her appreciation of what she
has done than continuing the work in
the same Jealous spirit.
Joy for the freed one she mi ght not stay,
When the crown had fallen from her life away
She hath.lived. she hath loved.
Her task is done!

WHICH GETS IT?
Pope Interest Money Wanted
by the City.
The Library Board Appears TO be Will
ling to Turn ii Over After Col
lecting II.

The council special committee on
claims against former city officials Is
not satisfied to have Gen. Pope pay the
interest on the $500 that was SHIELD in
reserve" to the library board unless the
board turns it into the city treasury.
The committee takes the ground that
the interest on money borrowed by the
library board has always been paid by
the city instead of out of the library
fund, and that when some of this in
terest is practically refunded as in this
instance it should go into the city treas
ury. Unless this is agreed to by the
library board, the council may not be
through yet with Gen. Pope.
Another matter is the rate of interest
to be charged. The council presented
Gen. Pope bill for $176, being interest
at the rate of eight per cent year.
which is the rate that the city has been
paying for the most of it's loans The
resolution of the library board did not
designate any particular rate to be
paid, the understanding being that the
legal rate of seven per cent should be
charged The library loans have been
foated at seven and six per cent, and
for this reason the board has consid cred
seven per cent as high enough. This
would reduce the amount to 1854.
Aid. Weed has consulted with Presi-
"A ho,sc of tho
library board and found disposition
on the part of all but one to hand the
money oyer to the city as soon as it
shall be received from Gen. Pope.
This satisfactory to the alderman.
President Wood stated today that he
was in favor of returning the money to
the city treasury instead of retaining it
in the library fund. He said that as
matter of policy and good Judgment, If
for no other reason, this ought to be
done, as the city has done the fair
thing by the library and will no doubt
continue to do so if the library board
meets it half way. He thought that
the other members as rule would look
at the matter as he did.
There was talk of holding a CONFER
ence this afternoon over the matter be-
tween members of the library board and
the special council committee. There is
no doubt but that the matter will be ad-
justed, and the probable outcome will
be that the library board will ask Gen.
Pope to pay 1854 and will turn this
money over to the city treasury, where
it is much needed.
Mayor Currier stated this afternoon
that a point in thesPope controversy
that seem to haye been lost sight of by
the editorial writer's of the local papers
is the fact that the first year that the
library was started it drew s., 500 from
the city treasury, whereas it was only
entitled to So, GOO. In 1897, only 81, 500
was drawn, which evened up the &C
count. The last $500 drawn the first
year was the money laid aside as a
reserve" by Gen. Pope.

and as he had not received his commits

ing the mail was not entrusted to his

has developed upon the bondsmen to
have the mail carried. The bondsmen
have secured man who is temporarily
filling the route, and are endeavoring
to find some one who will take it per-
manently. If they cannot do this, they
will probably pay the bond and charge
it up to experience account. 49,.
