of C. F. Staples, Eugene Villaume, H. L.
Moss, D. S. Sperry, Edward Vanish and

A part of the agreement was that the

This was done, and the ones due Nov

passed directing the corporation attor-
ney to proceed to inforce the collection
of the paper.
The officials of the West Side bank,
however, claim that three-ffths of the
claim of the city against the bank has
been paid, the exact amount turned over
to the city treasurer being $15,230.32 On
the basis Of the settlement made by the
city with the Allemannia bank, In which
claim of $4,000 was settled for $4,000,
1t is claimed the West Side bank has
paid the city too much in proportion and
should not be called upon to pay any
further sum.
Whether this view of the case will be
taken by the corporation attorney and
the council remains to be seen, but the
point will be raised by the bank Off
Gals and the bondsmen as soon as the
matter is taken up in a legal action
against the bondsmen.
