 With approximately S51OO on hand ! with which to meet the expenses Of | the city of Bisbee for the month of i September, there is grave possibili. ty that the municipality may be fore ! ed to go on a registered warrant bas is until funds are available to pay them This fact, upon being disclosed to the council. led that body to adopt unofficial resolutions that the balance of this month would see rigid econo- my practiced by all things and per. sons pertaining to the city. At the present time there is S1O,7S9 in the city's available funds. When the expenses for the month of August will have been met, there will be left a matter of S51OO. This is the amount upon which the city's expenses will have to be met with during the pres ent month. September. moreover is a light income month for the city, which makes it more imperative that econo- my be practiced. It appears certain, from the tenor of the city fathers last evening that any expenditures made will have to be mighty necessary be. fore they are ordered.
