nanco Is Head.
Little business of an important na
ture was transacted at last evening's
session of the city council aside from
allowing the . usual monthly accum.
ulatlon of bills and the consideration
of routine matters. It had been an
ticipated that considerable time
would bo consumed In considering
the bids for the sale of the $40,000
bond Issue, but Bilch was not the
case, not a single bid having reach
ed the recorder prior to the meet
Ing. '
Recorder Orcutt explained that he
had received several letters from
Eustern bonding houses shortly aftor
the bond Issue was advertised for
sale, and in some instances had fur
nished certified copies of the legal
proceedings ns well as copies of the
cily charter. "Three letters were
received later," said the recorder,
"and In each Instance the firms de
clared that four and one-half per
cen interest was too low, considering
the fact that money 1b somewhat
higher than a year ago. The bond
ing firms also informed the recorder
that the customary rate of interest
was five per cent, few issues hav
ing been taken at a lower rate dur
ing the past six months.
Inasmuch as no bids Vere re
ceived Councilman Josephson ad
vanced a motion authorizing the
Mayor to appoint a committee of
three councllmen for the purpose of
Investigating the advisability of dis
posing of the bonds at private sale
ns permitted under the city charter.
When placed to a vote the motion
carried uiianlinniously and the May
or appointed Messrs Strong, Micelli
and Josephson as members of Buch
committee. They will report their
findings at the next regular"Hieetlng
of the council to be held Monday
evening. ... -r . .

of in Its entirety as here
tofore. Plans nnd specifications
wero also submitted for considera
tion and were read In full by the
recorder. But one alight change was
macie in the specifications, that be
ing to the effect that . the binder
contain nt least 50 per cent crushed
rock instead of gravel. This altera
tion was effected upon the request
of the Mayor, who eald that he be
lieved crushed rock would give bet
