$500 to take up a note in similar
amount maturing on Oct. 80.
II. Is. Tupper, representing the Lo-
gan Coal and Supply Co., of Jackson
vile, appeared before council and
asked that the city make a 6O-day
note in favor of his company for the
amount of the recent Norwich street
sidewalk work done by his company.
Tho amount is practically $4,000, the
work having been completed sever
al weeks ago. Alderman Ludwig ex-
planned that all municipalities have
some formalities in collecting and
paying over such sums, that the
work had only been completed two
weeks, that it would work a hardship
on the people to levy executions
against their property, and he sug-
gested that the company wait until
the next meeting for the note. After
a conference, however, Mr. Tupper,
representing the company, agreed to
take the citF's note at 60 days for
the amount without interest, and on
motion of Alderman Ludwig, it was
agreed to make such note and the me-
cessary resolution empowering the
mayor to execute same was passed.
The city will now proceed to collect
amounts due ty citizens as fast as
possible.
After the reading and passage of
current accounts council adjourned.
