When he entered the room the fond

TIM E TO

A HALT White that there is no
necessity for paying the
scrip so far in advance of its maturity.
It only serves to drain the treasury
of money which could be utilized this
summer in making improved streets,
and tax collections be made in ample
time to pay off the scrip when due.
The present council one-half of the
aldermen of which will be members of
the next council. are only hampering
the next city administration for funds
to do those things which they have
promised the people to do. If the
funds in the treasury are kept eX
hausted in paying scrip a year in ad-
vance of maturity. then there can be
practically no street improving except
sub as Judge Phillips may assist the
property owners in making It is time
to call a halt in the redemption of
scrip so far in advance. The purchas-
ers of the scrip did not expect to get
their money before the scrip became
due, and there appears to be no just
cause for being in such a hurry TO so
agreeably surprise the scrip holders.
The Graphic has heard considerable
criticism of the councils action in
this matter, and there is an impress
sion among many that the redemp-
tion of scrip in advance of maturity
has been carried too far already. and
as there will be tax collections am
pie to redeem all outstanding sclip
when due, it is thought by many that
those who want improved streets
should be given some kind of show
of getting them the coming summer
