BY the first of next week the matter |
of repaying water deposits now held by |
the city will be threshet. out and the |
holders of the deposit slips will be no |
titled how they can obtain their money. |

ment have been suggested. Mayor |
Cofran, however. insists that it all be |
done in q regular manner. md that the |
money must be appropriated by the |

of it can be paid out. The result seems |
to be likely that patrons will have to /
make two trips to the city hall to get |
their money. one to swear to voucher |
and the next to secure their warrants. !
