April II, negotiations We're commenced

mediate sale. Various propositions
were received, but the highest bid was
that from Warner, Tucker & Co., of
Boston, which firm offered 101 and
agreed to pay for printing the bonds
and the legal expenses Incidental to
looking up the law of the transaction
The committee unanimously voted tt:
accept the offer, provided the bonds
would be printed and the money for
the same with premium, be paid over
to the city on or before April Is. The
bonds were signed upon the 18th of
April, having then been received from
the printer, and on the 18th the bond
were deposited at the First National
Bank in Boston and upon the same
day, Warner, Tucker & Co. took the
same, leaving in payment $76,160, being
the face of the bonds and the premium
Of one per cent. The notes amounting
to $4,000 have been paid, all but $1,000
of the bonds maturing have been pre-
scented and paid, and the sum of $3.50
has been deposited by the city treasu-
rel, in. the Gardiner Savings Institution
