Members of the finance committee
of City Council went over the finances
of the city last night in an effort to
straighten out some Of the tangles left
by the finance committee of the last
Council
One of the matters considered was
the check for $4,000 drawn to the
order of the Union National Bank, in
part payment of the $4,000 borrowed
from that institution. The check was
held up by Auditor Kenworthey be-
cause there was not sufficient funds
in the incidental and miscellaneous
account to meet it. This loan is not
due until July 20 and it is expected
that Council will cancel the $4,000
check and pay the entire $4,000 on
that date.
