CITY TO ASK BOND
ON SINKING FUND
For Deposit in Excess of $4,000 in Any
One Bank--Placing of $4,000 Still
Matter of Much Contention.

A new phase Of the sinking fund ques-
tion was introduced at special meeting
of the city council last night when a
resolution TO require a bond for por-
tion of the fund was jsmmed through,
after an amendment quite as extreme in
its tone as the original resolution was
turned down by an oral vote. Just
where the matter rests at the present
time is proDlematical, as it is not known
whether the bank that submitted the
highest bid for the $4,000 fund will con-
sent TO furnish bond for any part of
the fund.
Discussion of the fund was precipitated
when Alderman Healy quoted the Off
cials of the Barre Savings Bank & Trust
Co. as saving that they were ready to
stand by their offer of April IL. On
the previous night Alderman Healy, re-
viewing the extended consideration which
the fund had received, suggested that
the Quarry Savings bank be requested
to retain the fund until July ! in order
TO give the Barre Savings bank an OPP
portunity to make arrangements for re-
ceiving the money. The reply from the
bank, following a meeting of the direc
tors reported TO have been held Wednes
day morning. indicated that the bankers
are willing to take over the $4,000 May
L. as stipulated in the communication
opened by the council April IL.
The next development came when
Chairman Glysson of the finance com
mittee introduced resolution the sub
stance of which follows: THAT in the
event of the city having at any time a
sum of money in excess of $4,000 on de-
posit in any one bank, said bank shall be
required to give bond for said sum in
excess of the-s30.000, the bond to be ap-
proved by The city council" With the /
reading OF the resolution, motion was |
made and seconded for its adoption, |
Alderman Rossi asked leave /
to amend. His amendment went farther 1
than the resolution by Incorporating in
the original draft a provision whereby /
any bank shall furnish a bond for any
sum of money deposited by the city aft
n the money has been on deposit for a
year. the bond to equal the money de-
posted On the amendment Aldermen
slysson. Healy. Shurtleff and Bruce and /
Mayor Gordon voted in opposition. Alder
men Rossi and Reynolds being the only 1

we're registered against the resolution as
presented, Aldermen Healy,
