MOUNT VERNON HARD UP.
BONDS AND BACK SALARIES
REMAIN UNPAID.

There is disappointment IN Mount vernon over
the failure of ". J. Hayes q Co, firm OF Cleve-
land (Ohio) bond buyers to take an issue OF si5oo
deficiency bonds recently awarded to it, The city
expected the proceeds of the sale to pay It's
floating Indebtedness 1t owes the police and fire
men for three months services. the school board
has overdrawn its at the banks for
teachers salaries and at a recent meeting OF the
aldermen a letter read from the managers OF
the Mount Vernon Hospital in which they stated
that if they did not receive the Sl5o0 the city
owes the institution it might have TO close It's
doors. Some of the policemen It is said. have be-
much in need Of money that they are
borrowing from saloonkeepers.
The floating Indebtedness amounts to about s175-
000 which was accumulated under the recent Demo-
cratic administration Included among the credit
policemen. 1remen, school teachers ana
all employees of the city, also the water and light
companies and the newspapers. The Westminster
Lighting Company's bill alone amounts to about
$50 900. The company has not been paid in SIX
months. The deficiency bonds were put through
by the Republicans who now in charge of the
city and authorized by law, but the bond
firm. after bidding them in, decided that the city
was beyond the debt limit very nearly up to it,
and has therefore decided take only $4,000 of the
securities.
1t is said that there is doubt as to whether the
firm Will even take this amount. and Controller
Seder of Mount Vernon is In correspondence with
its representatives the subject. Mayor Fiske
and Controller Seder held that $500 Geo in tenn
years could be counted against the constitu-
tonal debt limit. but the Cleveland firm, in de-
clinng the deficiency bonds, has shown that 1t
makes distinction between them and the long
term bonds. In order settle the question of how
the city stands in regard to the debt limit: the
Common Council has decided to employ ex-Judge
John F. Dillon, of this city, TO make an examina-
ton and detailed report of all Indebtedness.
In the while the city's creditors are having
long wait. 1t is said that even if the firm takes
$4,000 of the bonds. the proceeds Will not go TO
the local creditors. as it will require the greater
part of this amount to pay interest now about due
bonds. The first relief that come will he
