was asked relative to the limita

complaint, the Mayor Bays:

limit of the City's indebtedness States
is $40,(11)0, and before this limit
could be extended or bonds of
any character issued an election
would le necessary. Under the
new charter the limit is made
$100,000 exclusive of improve

ordinance, authorizing ImmhIs,
other than improvement bonds,
