On motion of E. H. Deavitt the first arti-
Gle in the warning, ITO see II the city will
vote to take any action to recover salaries

aries.
e. II. Deavitt introduced resolution

an investigating committee OF three men,
bers, to investigate the affairs OF the city

zion. The resolution provided that this

mittee be empowered to commence such
suits as the investigation may warrant
f. A. Bailey inquired if any investigation
OF the liquor agency is now in progress by
the city council. Mayor Senter replied
that he had instructed the city attorney to

fairs of the agency during the time II. a.

On motion Of George Atkins the re7olu
ton was an ended so that this COMMITTEES
shall report to a special city meeting called
for that purpose, instead of to the city
council. The resolution was further amend
ed by making the compensation Of the mem
beers of the committee two dollars per
day and was then dopted After numer-
GUS ballots 7. j. Kelleher, f. l.. Laird and
j. A DeBoer were elected such committee.
On motion OF Alderman Brown it was
voted to authorize the city treasurer to Dor
row not to exceed $50 600 in addition to the
amount already voted by the city. The
city council WAS also authorized to refund
any part or all of the optional $33 800 water
bonds if this can ba done at a less rate of
interest than these bonds are now bearing.
The matter Of compensation for the Mont.
pelier Military Band was brought to the at
ton of the meeting by e. III. Deavitt This
meeting had no authority to vote money
for this purpose, but on motion OF Mr..
Deavitt it was voted to Recommend that

summer without expense to the city or its
inhabitants. On motion Of F. L. Laird the
