LITTLE MONEY WILL BE
 BORROWED BY CITY

Mayor Teague does not think the city will need to borrow much money to run on until January 1st. The City Council, at its last meeting passed a resolution empowering the Mayor to borrow on notes such funds as might be required to maintain the oity gov ernment until that time. He said yes- terday:
 T do not think 1t would be advts- able to borrow at one time all the money that may be needed for the city's expenses until January 1st. Such action would impose upon the treasury the expense of interest upon the entire amount until paid. It woul be better to borrow from time to time such sums as are found to be needed. By this plan the city will be saved a considerable sum in interest"
 The mayor said that very little, if any. money would be borrowed be- tween now and the close of his term of office on October A.

Old clothes remodeted and made over by The Bachelor. Phone 22fS. OFFICIALS PUZZLED AS TO
 MEANING OF ORDINANCE

Mayor Teague and City Treasurer Tait are in a quandary concerning the meaning of the ordinance passed at the Councils last meeting which pro- vides for collection of all taxes due the city from religious orders and corporations for street improvement work done where the property abuts the improved streets.
 The ordinance provides that collec- ton shall be at once made of 50 per cent of all such taxes now due. No where in the ordinance is mention made of interest, however. and Mayor Teague maintains that if the treasur- CT should merely collect fifty per cent of taxes due and neglect to collect compound interest thereon he would be personally liable for such a sum as the interest might be.
 The taxes sought to be recovered are in many cases more than twelve years past due and the interest will in several cases amount to sum greater than the principal.
 It is not improbable that the orii- nance will be returned to the council for amendment along lines making this point more clear.

played, will benefit by considerable

The game was not a real thriller AS
the playing was too good for straight
burlesque, but not classy enough to be
interesting. From the casual conversa-
ton passed around by some of the real
people in the boxes 1t was apparent that
most of them had been drawn TO the
game by desire to see Billy Hibbs slide
home on his face or some other mem
Der of either team perform an equally
accomplished feat. But they were disap-
pointed. There were some foolish-lookins
stunts pulled off. of course. but nothing
calculated to make the mirthfully in
