 Gentlemen:
 As to the outstanding indebtedness of the City of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, that is now payable amounting to the sum of one hundred thirty thousand, four hundred dollars ($130,40O to pay which there are no funds now, nor in the near future, available, l beg 10 submit to your consideration the fol- lowing proposition, to-wit:
 You, of course, are aware that on ac- count of the provisions in our State Constitution it is not competent for evidences of indebtedness that might municipalities outside the State of Ar debtedness. Nevertheless, the Arkan- sas legislature has granted plenary powers to municipal corporations op- erating under it's laws and has eN- pressly granted general powers and privileges, and such other privileges as arc incident to other corporations of a like character not inconsistent with the general laws of the State of Arkansas. It has been held by the courts of last resort in one or more of the states that q municipal or simi- lar corporation may legally fund it's outstanding indebtedness without any express grant of power from the leg islature. It has also been held that a municipal corporation in disposing of it's securities has authority to engage the services of and pay commission to a broker in and about assisting it to dispose of it's securities. It is manifest that to arrange for postponement of the time of payment of the obli- gations of the city that are now pay able, notwithstanding the provisions of our Constitution forbidding the is suance by you of evidence of indebted ness that bear interest, the fact is we'll known to all that the terms upon which it is possible to secure the post ponement of time of payment of any indebtedness inevitably has some re- lation ot prevailing interest rates that are ordinarily charged. It clearly fol- lows that the City of Pine Bluff can not hope to induce it's creditors whose obligations are now payable to agree without any consideration for so do- ing to agree to postpone the time of payment especially in view of the fact that any judgment that might be re- covered against the city, for it's out standing debt, would under our law bear interest at six per centum (61) per annum.
 Taking all of the foregoing condi- tions into consideration l agree with the City of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, to arrange for the postponement of the time of payment of the city's entire in- debtedness of one hundred thirty thou sand, four hundred dollars ($130, ,400) proposed to be funded as hereinafter indicated upon condition that there shall be issued in place of such obli- gations of the City Funding Certifi- cates of Indebtedness of the city ag- gregating one hundred, forty-nine nine hundred and sixty dol lars 149,960); said amount being nineteen thousand, five hundred and sixty dollars (S19,560) in addition to the indebtedness to be funded, which 1 agree to accept in payment as a brokerage fee, the expense to which l will be put in carrying out my part of the proposition now submitted to you, and in consideration of which l agree to cause the postponement of

An ordinance authorizing the refund- ing of city warrants and for other purposes.
 Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Pine Bluff:
 Whereas, it duly appears to the City Council of the City of Pine Bluff Arkansas, that there is now outstand- ing total valid, indebtedness of said city represented by warrants and oth- CT valid, written obligations of the city, which are hereinafter fully de- scribed, aggregating sum in excess of one hundred and thirty thousand, four hundred dollars ($13O, ,4OO) and that there are no funds of the city now available to pay the same nor will there be any such funds in the near future; and
 Whereas, the City Council finds that in order to prevent the impair ment of the credit of the city and to prevent financial loss to the city, it is indispensably necessary to make ap- propriate and suitable provision for the postponement of the time of pay ment of said indebtedness as has been in this ordinance hereinafter provid- ed: and
 Whereas, by the express provisions of the laws of Arkansas, including Sec tions 5436 and 5437 of Kirby's Digest of the Statutes of Arkansas, the City of Pine Bluff has general powers and privileges and is given such other privileges as are incident to other municipal corporations of like charac- ter not inconsistent with the provis- ions of the general laws of Arkansas; and
 Whereas, after due investigation and inquiry as to the best and most advantageous plan that can be devised and carried out to maintain the credit of the City of Pine Bluff within and in strict conformity with the powers and limitations of the law it has been and is now found and determined by the City Council of Pine Bluff lawful practicable and necessary and to the advantage of the City of Pine Bluff to accept a certain proposition of James Gould, submitted to the City Council of the City of Pine Bluff to execute and issue funding certifi- cates of indebtedness aggregating one hundred, forty-nine thousand, nine hundred and sixty dollars (S149,960) of the City of Pine Bluff in the forms, amounts, denominations and having the deferred maturities hereinafter prescribed, which certificates of in debtedness when executed the said James Gould has agreed either to ac- cept or to cause to be sA cepted by the respective holders of the obligations of the City of Pine Bluff, now out standing, simultaneously with their cancellation and in place of such out standing obligations of the City of Pine Bluff which are provided to be funded pursuant to the provisions of this ordinance, payment thereof or a proportionate amount of new certifi- cates of indebtedness, authorized by this ordinance to be issued; which proposition of said James Gould, is in the words and figures as follows, to- wit:

TRUCKS should
SAVE THEFUEL
Public Can Help Save Gas
by Carrying Small Par
GELS From Stores.

Declaring that many thousands of
gallons Of gasoline can be saved an
nuaIly through economies in the oper-
alton Of motor trucks, L. NJ. Cregor
Of the southern Motor company, Re
publican truck dealers, urges the pub
lie, motor truck users and truck
drivers to Join with passenger car
owners in conserving the fuel supply
The widespread campaign now under
way among the owners Of passenger
automobiles should be extended to
trucks as well, according to Mr..
Cregor, so that fuel will not be IN
necessarily wasted in any quarter.
1T is the part of patriotism in
these times to avoid wastefulness. 20
says Mr.. Oregon. Much has been
said about the duties of automobile
owners TO economic in the use Of
fuel. but so far the motor truck users.
drivers and those who benefit from
trucks, have not been discussed.
"As a motor truck dealer, say
that simply because trucks would be
favored IN the event OF fuel short
age is no reason for WaStetulneSs in
the use of trucks. The time is ripe
this direction, especially in view OF
the ever growing demands on trucks
and the fast increasing numbers Of
them going into service each month.
The public can help merchants by
cooperating in cutting down unneces-
sary deliveries Of goods. Small pack
ages should be carried home, and
women shoppers should educate them
selves to buy what they want the
first time instead Of returning goods,
so far as is possible.
Merchants and firms can do much
by keeping close check on fuel con-
sumption. skillful routing OF deliv-
cries, and instruction TO drivers on
ways Of effectinE economies in oper-
alton Of the trucks.
The drivers themselves are large
factors in the equation Of economy.
It is a well known fact that many
operators have a habit Of keeping
the motor running when away from
the truck for a length Of time. They
race the motor needlessly while driv-
ing. Both Of these evils can be cor
rected. and result is the saving Of
fuel 10 the country and money 10 the
employers. So many light delivery
trucks are equipped with electric
starters that the motors do not need
to be kept running when the truck
is idle"
