Mayor Bells Remarks.

On taking the gavel Mayor Bell said that he desired to say a few things hy the way of suggestion to the council. He said that the cities of Arkansas wer limited in the col lection of revenues, being prohibited by the constitution from collecting enough to even administer the affairs of Pine Bluff in an economical man. her, hence some things not legal had to be resorted to by the city govern ment to raise the revenues necessary to meet current eypenss He said the city was already in debt $50000, and doing everything possible to raise revenues had not prevented the grad uai increase of the debt. During the past two years the debt increased s 300, and for the two years prior the deficit was probably equally as great He said there was demand for an extension of the water and sewer sys- tems. and for more and better lights: that the people desired an electric street railway system. and the pros poets for a securing il at an carly date were bright. He called upon the citizens to stand by him in en- forcing the laws and his efforts to up- build the city

WILL ACCEPT BONDS.
Tho Treasury Department Oners to Take
United States Bonds 1t the Mean Price
Between Ofien and Bids.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Reserving the
right to discontinue without previous
notice the treasury department yes
terday announced that for the pres.
ent 1t will accept offerings of United
States bonds il rendered at the treas
ury department in Washington or at
the sub-treasury in New York at
prices to yield the government inter-
est az follows: On the three per
cent. bonds, loan of 190S-191S; five per
cent. bonds, loan Of 1904, and four
per cent. bonds, funded loan Of 1907,
to yield 1.726, and on the four per
cent. bonds, loan Of 1925, to yield
1905. In speaking Of his action in re.
Stunning the purchase Of bonds, Secre-
tary Gage said:
"The terms I offer are practically
the same as those under which the
purchases were made under the last
call. l took the market quotations
and made the price about the mean
between the offers and bids, which,
Of course, is shade above the prices
at which the actual transactions were
made. This, I believe, to be entirely
fair to both the government and to
the bond owner. My reason for maxi
ing the offer at this time is that ]
find from to-day's treasury statement
that we took in in cash this month
$9,3O1,952 more than we paid out,
and for this single day the excess OF
receipts over expenditures was $l,OS1,-
444. The circulation Of the country
could not stand this drain very long
without being affected seriously, and
as do not wish to increase the de-
poslts in the national bank depos-
tories, there was only one thing left
to do, and that was to buy bonds. l
can give no approximate idea of how
long this offer will remain open or
how many bonds shall purchase.
Bondholders who wish to sell would
do well not to count on any great
length Of time"
