Olympfa's Executive Asks for Com
mittee to Investigate Charges
Against Councilman Mack.

special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer:
OLYMPIA. Jan 4.-The recently elected
city officials have taken office and held
their first meeting. There was but q
slight change in the personnel OF the coun-
eli. one man only going out ana new
member going in
Mayor Keinhart. Immediately after the
new council met, read his message. He
devoted some space to the affairs or the
CITY in a general way, but the part OF
the message that attracted the greatest
attention. and is still attracting consider
able notice, was that relating to the al
legged misdeeds of the member elected from
the Third ward. 1t Is current street talk
that this member on the night Of the city
election became drunk and disorderly and
made an exhibition of himself.
Mayor Reinhart spoke of the street re-
ports and recited what they were and
stated that If they were true the council
should purge itself Of the odium. If they
were untrue, the member. should be exon
Grated. The mayor concluded by urging
an Investigation of the charges.
The council, at the conclusion OF the
message, appointed committee to inves-
tigate the charges and report its findings.
The member in question, John Mack, who
was present at the time, arose to ques-
tion Of personal privilege and asked leave
to withdraw from the chamber, and no OBJ
lection being offered, he went out of the
Council chamber at once. The occurrence
has created a sensation In this city.

REFUNDING COUNTY DEBT.
Thurston Commissioners Consider
ing Proposition.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 4.-For some time past
the commissioners of Thurston county
have had under confederation, in an in
formal way the question of refunding the
warrant and bonded indebtedness OF the
county.
A prominent attorney, representing cap
italists, has presented communication to
the board, offering to refund the debt at
a low rate of interest and the board will
shortly take up the question.
The refunding of the debt Of the county
is a matter Of great Importance, as the
amount involved is not tnconsiderabie.
The warrant. Indebtedness of Thurston
county is $4,000, with accrued interest.
which amounts to about 100000 more. The
bonded debt Is $225,o00. but in this case
there is money on hand to pay the inter-
est due AS to the interest on the warrant
Indebtedness, the warrants issued prior to
June 1898, draw interest at the rate of
10 per cent on warrants issued since
June, 1893, the rate is per cent.
The interest on bonds runs from to
per cent. In order to refund the debt and
mike 1t a profitable investment for the
county the interest must be quite low.
Just what the county would be guaran-
teed In demanding as the interest on the
refunding proposition the commissioners
are not prepared to say. but they are
unanimous In stating that 1t must be very
low.
