100000 or over, would earnestly recon-
mend that the city treasurer be instructed
in the future to call for bids in making
said loans and that they be awarded to
the lowest responsible bidder
My reasons for making this request are
| as follows: After "a careful investigation.
ma while we are ana have been paying
at the rate of five per cent for our tenn
Ipofary loans, other New England cities.
IKE Quincy, Attleboro, Medford, Maiden,
f1tchburg. Waltham, Holyoke and other
cities having no better credit than ours
are borrowing similhr sums and for the
same length OF time, paying only a little
over three per cent as against the five
per cent. as stated above which we are
paying. Gentlemen. let us initiate their
example by asking for bids and I have
reason to believe similar results will fol-
low
Respectfully submitted.
JAMES T.. BURKE. Mayor.
| The mayors message was accepted and
a resolution was passed instructing the
city treasurer to call for bids according
to the terms of the message and provid-
ing that such bids he advertised in at
least one daily paper.
