up and last fall $1,000 worth of bonds

main outstanding against this plant
and City Clerk Crittenden has notified
the banks that rs soon as they are
willing to sell these remaining bonds,
the city will take them up. They do

$4,000 electric light and power plant;
$4,000 OF this Indebtedness has already
been taken up and the city now has on

peared, some twenty or more, they
