Mr.. Johnson estimated that he will have
about 5000 to the credit of the city in the
treasury at the end of the month, and the
estimated receipts will be about $50, 600. This
leaves $50 S07.04 required by the city con-
trolIer the first of next month. Mr.. john
son figures that probably the finance COM
mittee will cut out the $12, 464 20 for the re-
pair of permanently improved streets,
which will leave a balance of $67,3i24 He
says If the Council should authorize a loan
of $4,000, which he will recommend, and
should the repair bill have TO be paid, he
can pull through, as some of the bills will
not have to be paid before Oct. TO, and by
that time there will probably be enough re-
ceipts to pay the bill.
Mr.. Johnson says the expenditures will be
heavier for September owing TO the quar-
terly bills and salaries that come due Oct.
l. The water bill will be due then and sew
eral other large quarterly bills come due
on that date. He facetiously remarked
that, as the councilmen's quarterly salaries
are also due. the recommendation may be
acted upon favorably.

thought and prayerful consideration.
one who has the cause which we
represent at heart can afford to absent
himself from this meeting. There
may be differences OF opinion among
us. Does that justify any in with.

been made. Is not the Convention the
best place in which to correct them?
The cau'e we seek TO advance is too
important TO be abandoned, brethren
