COUNCIL MEETING.
Bond Matters DiscusSed-The Smallpox Stu
atiOn-0ther News.

The council Monday passed a reso-
luton directing that the $4,000 eleC.
trio light bonds be issued at per
cent. This was done at the suggeS-
tiOn OF Councilman Pitts, who had
been to Topeka t. interview the
school bond commissioners relative
to taking the light bonds. The diff
erent members OF the commission ex-
pressed their willingness to take the
bonds at 5 per cent, and gave as their
reason for rot taking them at 4 per
cent, the rate al which the railway
aid bonds were refunded, that there
is not the surplus in the school fund
there was several mouths ago. This
talk Is regarded very lightly by the
knowing ones, who point out that
there is no particular friend Of the
tOard here now upon whom they care
to bestOw favorS. The eouucil will do
we'll if it places the bonGs with the
school fund commissioners at any
rate, as the law specifically forhids
the commission from buying any kind
of bonds except school bonds and
refunding bonds.
Councilman Amsden reported the
work of selling the $4,000 issue of
waterwOrks bonds progressing slowly
but with every indicltion Of success.
There are hall dozen persons aud
firms dgnring on taking the t0nds.
From the correspondence already had
on the subject, it is apparenl that the
bonds cannot be hoatedat less than 5
per cent. The salt bond suit against
the city is being Thoroughly .advaE-
tised among the capitalists through
/ the medium Ofstbe American InvsS-
tor, and has caused Numerous expla-
nations necessary, but it is not at all
likely that it will prevent the- sale Of
the bonds to eastern narties.2
