Virginia City, Feb. 9.--The city cleo
ton held here Monday, Feb g. passed
off quietly. The council met at the city
hall Tuesday night and after the install
lation of the new officers Mayor A. J.
Bennett delivered an able and appro-
pirate address. The. regular order Of
business having been properly trans
acted, the council proceeded to the Sc
lection and appointment of city attor-
ney, clerk, marshal and police magis-
trate, when the following were elected
to serve for the ensuing year, viz: w
A, Clark, city attorney and clerk; John
Strong, marshal, and n. D. johnson,

having on hand the sum of 81 60. o. the
council unanimously voted to redeem
city bonds to the amount of $1,000. Dur
ing the past two years and since the
completion of the city hall the mem
bers of the council have been making
strenuous efforts to reduce the debt
caused by the erection of the hall with
out increasing the tax levy. the acc om-
plishment of which, to the satisfaction
of ALL is an assured fact. The revenue
derived from the rental of the various
offices, lodge rooms and auditorium
was quite sufficient to redeem several
of the bonds and to pay the interest
on same, reducing the bonded indebt-
edness from 1000 to $500, most
creditable showing and all due to the
careful and iudicious management of
our council.

My belief is that the late owners OF the

zion of the Baltimore appeal tax court

therefore no dividends have been paid.

do not anticipate any radical changes in

Every year when the last remnant of
