At meeting of the city council last
Wednesday evening the aldermen de
cided to close down the work at the

the suspension is the lack OF funds 70

lity of getting enough 10 carry the
work TO completion. Some money can
be borrowed 10 take care OF what il
owed now but no funds to continue
future work can be secured.

COUNCIL TAKES ACTION
To SECURE FUNDS
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO MAKE A
LOAN UNTIL TAXES CONE IN.
MAY STOP POWER PLANT WORK
Unle. Matters Down There are More Sat-
sfseiory the Work Will be Closed
For the Winter.

The city council has taken action
looking 10 the securing OF funds with
which 10 continue the work at the
power plant and with that end In view
a committee was appointed 10 look mp
the matter Of loan and report at the
next meeting.
The committee figures that $40, 900
will carry the city along until tax time
when sufficient funds will be coming
to carry the municipality over until
the license money comes in next
spring
II Is stated that with the present I'M
certainty in the industrial and bank
ing world loans TO the amount asked
by the city are not easily obtained
from one bank at the present time so
several bankers have been interviewed
in the matter and those in charge OF
that branch of the work say that the
money will be readily obtained.
In conversation with Mayor Webb
last Tuesday that official stated that
orders had been given 70 cut hole in
the concrete dam 10 let cut the water
back of the cofferdam TO see IL there is
leak in the dam. This was made
necessary from the fact that the siphon
and rotary pump which the contractors
had at work in the sump didn't lower
the water and ii WAS surmised that a
big leak existed that the letting ont OF
the water would reveal
II leak does exist and il can be
stopped the work will go right along
but If il cannot be handled 1t is pro-
bable that the whole work will Le sus-
pended for the winter and resumed
again in the spring.
Should this action be taken il will
relieve the council of the necessity Of
borrowing any money to speak OF.
The sewer work has been completed
and the council Is relieved of any fur
ther expenditure In that line.
