REGULAR MEETING
OF CITY COUNCIL
ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACTED
QUESTION OF INTEREST is
DISCUSSED.

The city commissioners met in reg
ular session at the city hall last night
and, aside from the regular business,
the question of paying off interest on
bonds was the main question before
the council.
Someone blundered on the excise
board when the budget was made up
last year, and the interest and sinking
fund was not taken care of, with the
result that the city is facing deficit
in this department, and right now has
about $4,000 interest on bonds due
that the bond.holders are clamorias
for, and unles it is paid, will seriously
impair the citys credit The board
will meet Thursday afternoon and
take the matter up again for final set
tlement.
1t was reported that the Rock
Island Railroad company was ready
to begin repairing the Fifth avenue
viaduct and the city is also ready to
take care of it's share of the work.
Several attorneys were before the
council relative to old fines assessed
against clients they represented by
former administrations and the mat
ter was deferred until the meeting of
next Thursday.
