american" Administration to
Seek Legislative Aid to In
crease the Taxes.
COUNCILMAN FERRY'S IDEA.
Wants To Increase the Rates I'm Order
To Pay IntcrCst--City Fathers
In Session.

As a means Of helping the "Ameri-
can" administration out Of It's present
| financial difficulty the legislature will
be asked to pass a bill authorizing the
council to levy tax Of three mills for
the payment of interest on the bonded
Indebtedness Of the city and also for
the purpose of creating a sinking fund
| for the redemption OF the outstanding
bonds A resolution to that effect was
| introduced at the council meeting last
night by Ferry and, upon motion of
/ Holley. a meeting of the council as
committee OF the whole VIII be held on
! Wednesday evening at 1880 O'Clock to
| thoroughly discuss the matter
1t was stated by Ferry that at pres
ent the three mills for interest Is taken
out OF the contingent fund of the city
| thus reducing that fund to two mills
for general expenses. This, he con-
tended. is not enough Ia meet the gen.
era expenses as the city Is growing
and expenses Increasing each year He
urged that his resolution be passed so
that the legislature could provide for
the creation of a sinking fund by the
city
Wells was of the opinion that the
question should be thoroughly consd-
cred before any dtllhH Is ldhtls Nv
stated that the present water rates
were too low and he thought that by
increasing them considerable additions
al revenue could be obtained which
would be available for the payment OF
interest on the water bonds. He sug-
gested that the matter be referred to
the finance committee.
Fernstrom suggested that the whole
council should meet In executive session
ana tall6 the matter over. Ferry was
agreeable to that suggestion and Hol-
lev moved that the council meet as
| committee of the whole on Wednesday
evening tn consider the matter. The
motion nrevailed.
