here to cease drawing warrants
marked payable at that Institu
tion. Queried last night, local bank
ers stated they could not commit
themselves on the status of either
city or school district warrants
until the state warrant situation
had been clarified. It was explain
ed, however, that solution of the
state problem probably would lead
to acceptance of the city's war
rants.
Since the first of the year, the
city government has issued war
rants, marked "not paid for want
of funds" and bearing six per cent
Interest, to a sum between 3150,-
000 and 1160,000, according to
the city treasurer. Far the past
year the city has issued warrants
off and on, xpaylng them as tax
turnovers were received. From
May 5 tax payments, the city will
have about $170,000 due it, the
treasurer said.
Mr. Rice wasstill uncertain as
to whether or not he would have
sufficient cash on hand to pay the
final $24,000 Installment and
600 interest on an issue of sewer
and improvement bonds, due to
morrow. Large payments on Ban
croft bonds also will fall due in
the next several months.

3. An ordinance initiating a
