Outlook For City En-
ployes Is Poor.
They May Get No Pay Until
February.

1t is not likely that the city will
appeal for new trial in the Kenfield
injunction case.
On Monday motion to appeal was
lost in a vote by the City Commits
sioners, Messrs. Mcfarland and
Houser voting nay, and Messrs. Nc
Millen and Wilson voting aye.
The objection taken by Messrs. Nc
Farland and Houser was that the ap-
peal would cause an unnecessary ex-
pense, with the only satisfaction prom
ised in the result being a further ex-
planation of the Office of the General
Revenue fund.
So far as the city is concerned the
matter Of the $50 900 borrowed twice
is past incident The terms Of the
petition for an injunction were not
taken to mean a restraint upon the
city's taking $4,000 from the general
fund to pay off the debt caused by
borrowing. This was done, and
whether trouble will follow is a mat
ter whose result the city is now wait
Ing to see.
The situation as it Is now means
that city employees will have little or
no pay from the city from now until
the February apportionment Is paid
into the treasury. However, the sit
uation may change in case Of the
bond sales being successful the middle
Of October. All arrangements have
been completed for the bond sale, and
nothing has occurred to stop it The
question now rs whether bond buyers
viii bid under conditions now prevail
ing.
It is also understood that Solicitor
Esgate has taken preliminary steps
toward obtaining a special act Of Leg
fslature next winter permitting the
city of Akron to increase its tax levy,
and IL necessary borrow money to pay
off all indebtedness.
