The city council held an ad-
journed meeting on Tuesday
evening, the session being called
by the Mayor to consider the
passing Of an emergency reso-
luton authorizing the Mayor and
Finance Committee of the coun-
ell to borrow money to meet the
expenses connected with the re-
cent failure of the water supply
Of the city and the emergency
steps that have been taken to
remedy this trouble.
Only four of the councilmen
we're present, Geist and Hender-
son being absent but as this was
a majority the council accom-
plished the results as desired in
the call for the meeting. The
auditing committee spent a con-
siderable time in going over the
bills caused by the water sup
ply shortage and after segregat-
ing them from the other bills
found that the expense to the city
caused by this shortage approx
mated $1,000.
1t was also found that the big
expense caused by attorney fees
in the Beaton damage suit
against the city and a S295 dam
age claim of another party would
have to be paid out of an emer-
gency fund and these facts cOupl-
ed with the loss of revenue from
water rent caused the council to
pass a resolution authorizing a
loan of $4,000.
The idea of the council i'm pass
ing the resolution for the loan of
$4,000 to finish out the years
city expenses was that while they
estimated that approximately that
amount would be needed they will
only borrow in such amounts as
is needed to pay the city bills,
thus if necessary, making sew
eral loans up to the $4,000 and
saving the payment of interest
on the money not actually need
ed for city expenses.
The actual cold facts of the
city finances, as learned by a rep
resentative of the Record from a
city official is that the city avail
able finances for the general ex-
penses of the city are practically
exhausted; that the budget as
prepared by the city council fol
the fiscal year 1914-15 is ex-
hausted and that a considerable
sum of money will be needed tC
tide the city finances over unit
the new council takes up its du-
ties after the April election.
On January first the availabl,
money that can be converted in
to general expenses of the cit,
was, practically speaking, divid
ed as follows:
Current Expenses S9i.2'
Public Improvement 5000
Water Extension S342.6
Light Fund Sii56.7l
Salary Fund 100000
The last two named funds can
not be drawn upon at this tim
for city current expenses, TN
cnly way this money can be use
in helping to make up the year
deficit being that at the close O
the fiscal year these funds wi
go into the warrant redemptio
