Adrian Melton. on behalf Of number
Of paving taxpayers, to induce the city
council, at its regular meeting last
night TO pass resolution similar to
that which was adopted by the city
council at III Reno, disposing officially
OF the per cent excess payments With
which delinquent taxpayers have neen
penalized since the payments of the
grading and pa.iGG taxes became due.
This amount, about $20,00O is nov be-
Ing held By the city treasurer against
emergencies which might arise where
in as Treasure Clark stated last night.
the city might be called upon to make
good any delinquencies.
Mr. Melton, bearing the draft OF
resolution which was identical with
that upon which the HI Reno council
took action, explained that the city Of
Chickasha would be taking no risk IN
its adoption, which would force the
bondholders to take definite action in
the matter and thus bring a showdown
and the consequent disposition Of tie
excess payments now held BY the city.
Following the adoptionlof this resoiu-
tion, in Mr.. Melton's opinion. the bond.
holders would at once institute inlunc-
tion proceedings and the matter wculd
