CITY PAYS
TOO MUCH
FOR BONDS

Lack of system in the handling
of bonds Of city officials is cost
ing the city a large sum each
year. according to a complaint
made to the council today by Con-
troller Fred Shoemaker.
There are 35 bonded employees,
many of them persons who never
handle any funds or have an OPP
portunity to get away with city
money, while the charter only
provides for the bonding Of IL
officials, Shoemaker declares
Premiums on the bonds range
from $3.50 to $1,000, and the
bonds are signed up in wide va
rance to one another. The city
pays $1,S45.50 year on prem
iums.

after she was gone. She said
she wanted her baby to have
a mother. She wouldn't rest
until we promised, and as
there was nothing else to do,
We promised.
A week later her aunt and

and she said, "A promise to

What shall l do? I haven't
