Forty Thousand Dollars Worth OF
Warrants At Interest.

A feature of the business transacted
by the city council Monday night was
a serious consideration of proposed
bond issue for the purpose OF taking
up the floating and outstanding city
warrants. The city is now paying six
per cent interest upon somewhere be
tween $4,000 and $4,000 of paper

issue bonds to retire these interest
bearing claims. This matter after dis
cussion was given into the hands OF
the ways and means committee, Pen

will likely be made the subject of a

birds and butterflies,
The tables were deliberately decor
