CITY COUNCIL INSTRUCT
ATTORNEY TO PROCEED
IN THE MATTER LEGALLY.
Also Instructs That All Bonds Given By That Com
Give New Bonds

Yesterday evening the Nogales
City Council held two important
meetings which transacted a deal OF
business, some of it of a startling
nature, and more of it routine work.
Ihe startling feature was the or
der instfucting the City Attorney to
proceed against the bonding company
that went security for w. H. Smith,
the defaulting town treasurer, and
shutting that company from giving
bonds for municipal officials and en-
ployes.
The routine business included can
vassing the bond election vote, and
a loption of a resolution for purchase
or sale of the bonds voted.
The first meeting was a special
one called in connection with the
bond election; the second was the
regular monthly meeting.
Aldermen present were Messrs.
Butler, Ford and Wylie, with Mayor
Fielder presided City Clerk Frank E
Cole at the desk.
In the special meeting, as men
toned above, the bond election was
canvassed, the result declared in
favor of the bond issue of 1855, 100000
at 512 % interest, the bonds running
ten to thirty years. They were or
dered advertised locally and in the
Daily Bond Buyer of New York. Al
the legal point involved we're re-
ferred to the experts who undertook
to steer the bond issue through to a
successful elimination, protecting
the city in every particular.
1t was provided that there shall be
an issue of $9O,OO0.00 as soon as the
bonds are sold, so that there shall be
no time lost in taking up outstanding
warrants and reducing interest. 1t
is to be stipulated that the other
bonds, for the new water system are
to be issued as needed, and install
ments, while the bond buyers are to
pay the interest accruing between the
date of the bond issue, and delivery
to the purchaser.
The foregoing comprised the busi-
ness of the special session.
In the regular session Mr.. J. E.
Wise addressed the council upon the
subject of dedication of streets and
alleys in the Wise subdivision, Sc
that waterpipes and sewers may be
installed; and Mr.. Wise, with Mr.. A
S. Noon, sales manager of the prop
erty submitted blue prints of the
subdivision, which were referred to
City Engineer j. w. Larimore, with
Instructions to report back to the
Council.
Superintendent of City Water
j System, S. w. Bryant, was instructed
to lay a main to the tract, so watel
may be made available.
Mr.. H. Gorden Glore a property
owner on Walnut Street, appeared
before the Council and addressed
that honorable body with regard t.
ordering sidewalks constructed upol
the street named.
Upon motion it was ordered tha
property owners along Walnut Stree

sixty days of the date of filing

ferred to the City Attorney with in
structions to draw and submit an or
dinance on the same lines, in so ia
as the same may be applicable to tn
