connection with the handling of the
city scrip.
Alderman Fox said he wished he
could suggest something to relieve
the situation, but knew not what to
say, unless 1t We're to take the money
cut of the hands of the city treasurer
and put it in the hands of some one
who will give assurance of paying the
warrants
Alderman Boyce expressed the hope
that the treasurer would vet comp]v
with the councils wishes in the mat
ter. He didn't believe the treasurer
would assume any risk to himself OF
his bondsmen in doing So Former
city treasurers had done the same
thing. The Cotton Belt Savings and
Trust company had been cashing the
city scrip at from s to 10 per cent
discount heretofore, the fluctuation In
price being controlled largely by the
condition of the money market. "My
motives have been misconstrued in do
ing this he said while trying to help
the city, have been misunderstood by
many He stated that he couldn't
ycuch much for what the board of di-
rectors would do in the future, but he
believed that some of them had about
reached the conclusion that they
would suffer- their motives to be inn
rugned no longer. The employees of
the city government got little enough
salary, anyway, and they should have
their money, and have it promptly
He hoped the treasurer would recon
slider and pay the warrants.
Alderan Clement inquired if this
money could not be controlled by the
board of public affairs.
Mayor White said it could He
suggested that all these warrants b.
made due on July 10, instead of ,Janu-

Hereupon City Treasurer Alexander,
who had up to this time been a 81
lent spectator of the proceedings,
arose and stated that he did not want
to appear contrary in the eyes of the
city council. but he insisted that the
procedure of the resolution was illee-
al, and he could not afford to subject
his bondsmen to the risk that would
be incurred in paying the city war

On roll call, Aldermen Well. Nichol.

after City Clerk Lee began reading
the minutes of the last meeting, max
ing the attendance colE.e-a. The
minutes Of the last meeting were ap-
proved
long wransle oct III aG right in the
beginning, when Alderman Well for
tho finance committee, brought up the
GaHtter of paying the warrants Of the
police and fire departments again.
Mr We'll announced that City Treas
a1er Ale, ander had refused to cash
these warrants in accordance with the
resolution to that effect passed by the
last session of the city council He
could not understand Mr.. Alexander's
motives in refusing to cash them. He
bad plenty of precedent for paying
them, for two former city treasurers
of this city had cashed the city war
rants under similar conditions. He
believed it was rather a sorry recon-
nendation to this city to have the city
treasurer refuse to cash the city's own
scrip at 80 per cent on the dollar.
Mayor White: Well, it's up to the
city council; you've either got to force
him to pay them or else back down.
| understand the city attorney told
the city treasurer he could pay them
it he wanted to do SO. and there is no
reason for him not doing it.
City Treasurer Alexander: The civ
attorney didn't say anything OF the
kind.
Mayor White: That is what the
newspapers quoted him as saying.
City Treasurer Alexander: The city
attorney told NE he wouldn't like to
Lay them, under this resolution. if he
were city attorney. have no right
to redeem these warrants under this
resolution.
Alderman We'll: You are not re-
oeeming any warrants; you are only
holding them as collateral.
Alderman Nichol said he saw no
reason why the council could not draw
on the treasurer through a demand
warrant for the full amount of the sun,
necessary to pay off the employees of
the police and fire departments.
Alderan Jordan proposed that these
warrants simply be called in.
Mayor White indorsed this idea. and
said the council should get this mon.
ey out of the hands of the city treas.
arer, who, he said, had no business
with it. He said it should be placed
in circulation; the city's employees
needed it.

are trying every way to keep the
schools and the truancy law working
right, and to do it without hard feel
ings between the teachers and the
parents and the children.
