FORT'HIE:REFUND.
The Special Council Committee
on Rebuilding OF City Debt
HELDITS MEETING LAST NIGHT
And Organized by .Eicc,ing Mayor
Sweeney Chairman = No Action
Taken, Except TO Instruct the Clerk
to Prepare Certain Statistics Bear
ing on the Dcbt-A Three Percent
Refund linden Consideration.

Last night q meeting OF the council
refundlng committee was held. 1t was
the first meeting since the committee
was appointed, and aside from organiz-
Ing nothing was done. Mayor swee-
ney had to leave shortly after the meet
ing was called. and the other members
spent profitable half hour in an IN
formal discussion OF the proposition TO
refund the city's debt. as suggested IN
the mayors message to council.
The committee organized by electinG
Mayor Sweeney chairman. The other
members present were Messrs. Water
house, NJ. A. Chew and Korn. Solicitor
Nesbltt and City Clerk Watkins were
also present. The next meeting VIII
be called as soon as the clerk and the
mayor have outlined O statement OF the
city's debt, the time when the bonds
fall due, the interest rates, etc.
In the informal discussion 1t was
brought out that the present flood OF
money Mt the banks ought to be taken
advantage OF by refund. and the COM
mIttee realized the need Of preparing
the refundlng ordinance rs soon as
possible, so as to have the question
submitted to the people this year. The
clty's Indebtedness will be S550.000, in
round numbers, and It Is considered
certain that the money to pay this off
can be borrowed at . per cent, selling
the bonds at par, which the members
OF the committee believe will be bet
ter than selling at premium and CIV
Ing 81 per cent interest. for the pre-
MUM Is generally eaten up In few
years by the difference In interest.
To outline the refundlng plan In all
It's details will take considerable time
and labor. but the work will be done as
soon as possible. The question Of in
Guiding the water boards debt will be
q feature to be considered.

WRECKS THE SATELLITE.
Bow Boat Sinks Near Quincy While Going
South With n Raft.

South With a Kart.
Capt. George Winans, the well
known riverman, and owner and mas
ter of the tow boat Saturn and bow boat
Satellite, both familiar in these wat
ers, has had hard luck again. He IS
credited with taking greater risks and
bigger lows than any other man on
the river, and it appears that the
losses are correspoudingly great. The
bow boat Satellite sank near Quincy
the early part of last week, and will
be wrecked. as there is not enough
left to pay for the raising of the little
steamer. The accident occurred while
the Saturn was taking a raft south.
The Satellite struck 4 sandbar and be-
fore the Saturn could be stopped she
had rammed the raft nearly through
the grounded boat. The entire side
of the boat was broken in, and barge
is now engaged in removing the ma
chinery, which is yet good.
