IN
City Council Takes No Definite
Action, Though Other
Business.
The refusal of Contractor S. E.
Brown to raise the city hall for $130
If he had to receive his pay In city
warrants brought up the proposal to
bond the city and take up the out
standing warrants at the council
meeting last night. In tho discus
sion, It developed that It Is be-
coming more difficult than ever to
cash city warrants even at the ten
per cent discount. Mayor Straw said
that he had one that he couldn't
cash and City Clerk Squire was In a
similar predicament. Most of the
councilmen declared that the city
should float a bond issue sufficient
to retire the outstanding warrants
but no action was taken. Council
man Nasburg said that the next time
the council fixes the tax levy, they
will provide for sufficient funds to
meet all necessary current expenses.
After deciding that tho current ex
pense fund could tako care of the
?130 needed to get the city hall
raised, the bonding proposition was
dropped.
Take Cine of Ovorthr.ft.
In the acceptance of the final re
port of John F. Hall, the retiring city
treasurer, the question of taking care
of the overdraft of $1,515.G1 on the
North Front street Improvement fund
last year came up. Councilman
Lockhart suggested that this be done
by taking that sum from the current
expense or general fund to make
good the loan from tho Second and
Cedar street fund and that when the
extra assessment on North Front St.
Is collected, the current expense or
general fund be reimbursed. He said
that under the extra assessment, all
North Front street property that had
not paid It had been bid In by the
city at the tax sale and that unless
tho owners settled, the city would ac
quire title to It within a year. The
council adopted Mr. Lockhart's plan.

All of the property owners of
those portions of First and Cedar
streets now being paved except W.

ing that the material be changed
from crushed stone to plank. Mr.
Murphy Is out of the city but Is
agreeable to the change. Mrs. Mc
Leod has a suit In the courts object
ing to the work done by the city and
would not sign. The council decided
to make the change as petitioned.
Change Ferry Slip.
Tho council ast evening decided
to grant D. Campbell's contention
concerning tho ferry slip on 'X'
street. If the ferry slip was
placed according to the new survey
of the street, it would cut off about
peven feet on the southwest corner
of Mr. Campbell's lot and not allow
him anyj sidewalk along the remain
der of the property to the water
frqnt. As a condition of making tho
change, Mr. Campbell will be re
quired to pay for the piling driven
on the portion of the street granted
him, Tho change in the slip will re
quire additional dredging and the
