fore the district court, where the court
will inquire into the existence, charac-
ter and amount Of ti.iS warrant in
debtedness, and on proper showing
will, no doubt, approve funding bonds
to pay only such warrants as are pre-
sented to the court. Warrants that
cannot be presented to the court can
not be paid Only such warrants can
be paid as have been presented and
which were approved by the people at
the election
The people who hold these warrants
have indicated that they are willing
Ito waive all claims for interest, leaving
the city to pay just the amount it orig
inally contracted to pay The war
rants could not be paid out of the
revenues for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1909, for the reason that they
We're issued in excess of the income
and revenue provided for that year,
and as these warrants are outstanding
and unpaid ! believe the people should
now validate them and order them
paid.

voters of the City of vinita. Okla, the
question of whether or not bonds shall
be issued to pay the old warrant in
debtedness of the city in a sum not to
exceed S9.129.26. The average ex-
penses of the city run about $4,000 per
month or, IN other words, it requires
about $4,000 per year to maintain the
city government and keep up all de-
partments. and the records show that
the funds became exhausted December
81, 1908, and it was necessary to incur
the indebtedness in order to keep the
city government up and all dsDaft-
ments running to June 80. 1909, and It
became necessary for the officers in
charge at the time to incur the indebt-
edness in order to maintain the city
government from December 81, 1908,
to June 30, 1909, therefore, the indebt-
edness was incurred and was dis
tributed in the funds as follows
Contingent and supply fund. $2,249,S2
Salary fund, salaries of fEicers
and employees .....~. 2.9ss6o
Street and bridge fund for re
pairing streets .. 2.S6773
Fire and water fund, expenses
Of fire and water depart
ments .... 36463
Street lighting fund. street
light ...s.. 57s.65
Park fund for guards working
prisoners in the parks ... 1900
The mayor and councilmen incurred
the Indebtedness at the time because
it was the proper thing for them to
do the outgoing administration up TO-
May i, 1909, incurred approximately
$4,000 OF this indebtedness and the.
newly elected officers for the months
of May and June, 1909, incurred the
balance There was no alternative for
them.
The list OF outstanding warrants
has been published 50 the people could
see for themselves that the indebted
ness was for the honest, legitimate
and proper expenses of the city The
people have performed the services
and furnished the materials and sup-
plies as shown by the warrants and
they are entitled to their pay,
III the event the people vote to pay
up this Indebtedness. the mayor and
the city clerk will take the matter be-
