The bonded debt of the city on De-

"The total reduction of the debt dur
ing the year was $50 $50.
I'VE beg to further report that pursu-
ant TO an act of the General Assembly
passed January 20, 1897. and to an or
dinance of the Council, passed August
10. 1899, the Finance Committee OF
Council and the commissioners Of the
sinking fund were authorized tc dispose
of sinking fund bonds to the amount OF
S24 900 to provide for the payment Of
city bonds for Il like amount falling
due on September 1, 1899. The new
bonds were duly advertised and bids
for the same opened on August "a, 1893
The highest bid received was SlOS,314,
which was made by G. Fl. White & Co.,
bankers, of New York city. TO whom
the bonds were awarded and in whose
name they we're issued and desposited
in the Union National Bank of Will
mington. White G Co failed to pay for
the bonds on September J. 1888, as re-
ouired by the conditions of their bid
and the old bonds maturing on that day
were paid by the city treasurer out OF
the current funds Of the city. After
protracted negotiations it became evil
dent that White & Co. would not ac-
cept the bonds unless compelled to do
so by process of law, and your finance
committee, believing that the revenues
and income of the city for the current
fiscal year would be sufficient for all
purposes, and that the proceeds OF the
s24, 900 of sinking fund bonds would
not be required, recommended that the
bonds be withdrawn from the Union
National Bank by the city treasurer
and delivered to the commissioners OF
the sinking fund for cancellation. This
recommendation having been approved
by your honorable body, the bonds were
delivered to the commissioners an6
duly cancelled.
In this connection we would recon-
mend that hereafter the deposit OF
specified sum Of money should be re
quired to be made by all bidders To-
city bonds as a guarantee Of good faiti
and as forfeit in case they should tai
OF refuse to pay fer the bonds awarded
to them.
