Mr.. McManus explained that the
bond ordinance had been passed, but
the bonds had not been issued and he
said there had been No promise to
Issue the bonds this summer. DR.
Ryon thought the city could go ahend
with the money In hand and without
the bond issue, but Mr.. McMnnus ex-
planned that he felt conditions would
be remcded and the improvements
made next spring. He said he did not
think there was any chance of having
the new paving done this year.
j. Frank Mccoy wanted To know
why the work could not he done this
summer, but Mr.. McManus explained
that the work listed for this year will
be about all the Street and Sewer De-
partment can handle. lie said King
street will be given first consideration
next spring. He asked II the mer-
chants thought IL fair to the city to
sell bonds below par and some of them
expressed the thought that so long
az unemployed citizens were given
work IL was all right and would be
approved by the citizen generally.
MIR. McManus described the HlthyI
conditions he has seen In King street.
but DIR. Ryon said the merchants did
not favor that sort of thing. Mr.. FaberI
recounted his several complaints to
various departments without results
and DIR. Ryon told OF one instance
where the city lost big cigar store
because the people i'm charge would not
locate on King street in a store they
had been considering. He spoke of
how much the condition of any street
has to do with business along the
street. Mr.. Faber thought improved
there would bring much
additional trade.
1t was the concensus of opinion
the merchants that they did
not want any temporary improvements
made along King street. They said
they would prefer to wait until next
spring when the new paving work
could he started and IL was their be-
lief as well as that Of the Councilmenl
that when the new paving is started
the new lighting system viii be in
stalled at the same time. Councils
agreement to try to have the improve
ments made next spring appeared tol
satisfy the delegation and they ex
pressed their tina nks TO the Council |
men for their agreement To work tol
this end.

and of these thirteen bombs, weigh

the Ostfriesland. Only four of the
thirteen bombs making these direct

Two of the bombs that exploded on
